I go to sleep thinking about my kids being spoiled and I wake up thinking about it.
I'm not great at bedtime stories. Bedtime stories are supposed to put the kid to sleep. My kid gets riled up and then my wife has to come in and go, 'All right! Get out of the room.'
You know, when you don't go on TV and talk about how many women you sleep with, some people in Hollywood, that are supposedly 'in the know,' start whispering that you're gay. If I were gay, I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it, but I'm not.
I sing seriously to my mom on the phone. To put her to sleep, I have to sing 'Maria' from West Side Story. When I hear her snoring, I hang up.
The idea of my kids being spoiled, I go to sleep thinking about it. I wake up thinking about. I'm trying to do the right thing. With the amount of money I have, it's difficult to raise children the way I was raised. But I took away the west and north wing of the house for those guys. So, they're not allowed in there.
My comedy is different every time I do it.
My buddies, we've always just tried to make each other laugh, ... I mean, just like all friends hanging out -- that's the goal.
We just bought this house. It's too big. It's like 400,000 square feet, or something. We got an indoor lake and ski slope in the house! It's just too big.
I don't think about that, ... I wasn't a kid growing up saying one day 'I'll get an Oscar and make a speech.' That wasn't on my mind. So what I do is the best work I can do.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink, put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.Oh, it could be so nice to grow old with you, I wanna grow old with you.
To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.
When you're around the kids, you feel like you act the most grown up just because you're supposed to lead. I say things, like every other parent, that reminds you of your own parents. One thing I do know about being a parent, you understand why your father was in a bad mood a lot.
Wedding Singer' taught us we shouldn't be afraid of making people feel emotional in the middle of the movie, rather than just dealing with comedy,
