I have actively called them [Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg], and been like, "Will you put me in your next movie?"

My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in 'Conversations With My Father!' I'd never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.

What's great is that because math is such a universal language, really, our fans come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and genders and races and backgrounds and cultures.

So many shows out there dumb-down the country. It's so admirable to be part of a show that wants people to think.

[10 Things I Hate About You] was the most fun I ever had making a movie. Everyone got along really, really well from day one. It was like summer camp.

Everyone knew you shouldn't go biting into fruit offered to you by magical creatures in the woods, even if you'd thought until just five minutes ago that such stories were, you know, only stories.

One of the biggest mistakes that you could make while pursuing your dream, is to not study the footsteps of those who are already successful in your field.

Things do not change we change.

I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art.

In my own experience, the scripts that I wrote, if they didn't go within two years and become a film, they never went and no one ever came looking for them.

I adore clothes, I adore drinking. I just don't have the time or the inclination to totally indulge in it.

An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish. Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head.

Soft men tend to be born from soft countries.

Kids are so dynamic; if you're tired and you walk into a roomful of kids, your energy is brought up to their level.

Those who grieve find comfort in weeping and in arousing their sorrow until the body is too tired to bear the inner emotions.
