I learned over the years that it's easy to appear smart referencing things that people don't know.

Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.

No matter what I have to say, I'm still trying to say it in comedic form.

I had a lot of fun working with John Candy. We had a pretty good rapport.

My characters aren't losers. They're rebels. They win by their refusal to play by everyone else's rules.

Acting is all about big hair and funny props... All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it, Brando knew it.

If Chevy Chase had not been an actor, he might have been a very popular guy in advertising or whatever field he would have gone into, because of his charisma.

I always claim that the writer has done 90 percent of the director's work.

I collect spores, molds, and fungus.

I was the little guy who knew how to tie a necktie. It came from having absentee parents. They were tremendously loving and caring people who, by circumstance, had to go to work.

Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it.

We throw away real people searching for the "perfect" person the same way that we throw ourselves away searching for our "perfect" self.

Just because the economy is down, doesn't mean that your spirit has to be down with it.

You have nothing if you're texting a guy in a relationship. We can text six women a minute. We can text it and push 'reply all.' I mean, since we're lying, we might as well lie to everybody.

What is the good of experience if you do not reflect?

They say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all, and the wildest, the most urgent.

Im actually, for the most part, a complete agnostic politically.

I find that the only way to get through life is to picture myself in an entirely disconnected reality.

To deny ones' true nature and the gifts given you by the gods is to tempt disaster. You cannot hide behind the mask forever.

People who experience themselves as authentic are also experiencing themselves as myth, but that's not the narrative they're going with.

God fully knows himself and all things actual and possible in one simple and eternal act.
