I was out in L.A. and I had gone to film school and I was out here for a couple of years. For a lot of years, I was bartending and having a good time.

I made 'Going Greek', which was a very sort of crappy fraternity comedy that I did back in 2000.

For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they’ll do in any scene you put them in.

I had always fantasized about going to the Pyramids, the Great Wall; I've always been sort of obsessed with the whole notion of Everest.

We'll probably live 20 more years than our grandparents did. The question is, what are you going to do with those extra 20 years?

I get a million ideas a day and I don't put too much weight on any one of them. The ones that really stick in my head are the ones I end up doing.

The world is waiting for us to graduate from ourselves.

The idiot who invented instant grits also thought of frozen fried chicken, and they ought to lock him up before he tries to freeze-dry collards.

I don't at all like knowing what people say of me behind my back. It makes me far too conceited.

Centering prayer is a training in letting go.

I think I might get laid more...by my dad.

I started writing songs at age 15.
