I grew up in the '80s in L.A., so Ice Cube and Magic Johnson are my heroes.

It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do.

Germany's amongst my top three places in the world I'd like to live.

I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, "People will LOVE the ninja version of that."

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.

If you're trying to make someone happy, you gotta try and make them happy.

New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'

The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.

I don't like to say mean things about people's hard work.

I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.

I mean, being shot in slow motion doing cocaine by Martin Scorsese is, like, maybe every actor's dream. Nothing will compare to it. Except maybe having kids.

The most stable, and therefore, the most healthy self-esteem is based on deserved respect from others rather than on external fame or celebrity and unwarranted adulation.

What's in a view? A world, by any other, would remain just as it is, just as wonderful :-)

One doesn't fall in love... one digs a hole for himself to trip in... claiming he didn't see it coming

Life has everything in it. But you only see what your perception allow you to see

I have so many evil plans, I'm just trying to find the one which would be best right now!

I'm sick of these congress meetings. There no reason to meet again. As you know, if there's a congress, I usually win it.

I just hate talking about myself.

I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.

A candle loses nothing when it lights another candle.
