I was a standup comedian, which is kind of like writing and directing yourself.

I've never been to a class reunion or anything because I'm always afraid of that one - there's going to be some 'Carrie'-like incident.

Women comedy is different than men comedy. Guy comedy is very aggressive, it's about insulting each other, name-calling, and kind of busting each other's chops, and that's not what women's comedy is.

Man up and add a tux to your wardrobe. Just find one you like and get it well-tailored to your own measurements.

The biggest thing I’ve heard for the last four months is, ‘Thanks for ruining my childhood’.

The director is the only person on the set who has seen the film. Your job as a director is to show up every day and know where everything will fit into the film.

When I went to high school, in the late 1970s, disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part. I know I did.

Throughout my teens, I just wanted to go somewhere I could wear a Donald Duck pin and no one would care.

My style of comedy is very real and bittersweet, and sort of always on the verge of kind of being tragic.

With a suit, even if you're having a nervous breakdown, you still look like you're in charge.

I'm more of a science head, so I was like, how would a guy use - if there were ghosts - technology to bring them back?

I think it would be shocking for me to pretend not to have any past. And also, it would be a lie.

Little Jane's love would have been my best reward, without it, my heart is broken.

It was one of the warm nights at the end of summer that makes promises that won't be kept.

All that exists, exists in some amount and can be measured.

I’m a huge fan of the books myself, so to know that I got to play Clary – who’s a literary heroine to me – was a huge honour.

Being bald is no fun.

It is often said that it's a man's world; we must change this fact and create this: It's a human's world!

Staring at the world through the bottom of a glass, all I see is a man who's fading fast.

I don't think I really started to seriously compose until around that time when I was 40.

Long ago, Ben Graham taught me that "Price is what you pay; value is what you get." Whether we're talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.
