My dad works in finance, so he kept giving me the stats: only one in a hundred actors makes it. He'd ask, 'Have you thought about producing?'

Up there on the screen, we can all fly. But down here on earth, we need to be each others wings.

I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I'm a complete fruit loop.

I'm as voyeuristic and intrigued as the next person as to how celebrities live.

Learning lines is hard for me because I have the attention span of a six year old. That's why being on planes all the time is so useful - I'm forced to learn out of boredom.

The fear of messing up is what makes you work harder!

I always try to describe making movies like summer camp, or some holiday where you spend all day, every day with a new group of people whom you kind of love and then never see again.

Well, she was through. If he wanted her, he'd have to do something about it.

So I slap on that smile and pretend everything’s okay even though it’s not.

All I needed was the courage to be me. That courage took a lifetime to develop.

Humorists are always pessimists. They're reactionaries: because they see that every golden cloud has a black lining.

I'm incredibly neurotic and a control freak. I like the thought that if there's going to be anyone to blame it's going to be me.

I’m tighter than face lifts and flyer than spaceships.

The whole problem with people is they don't know what matters and what doesn't.
