four bigs sheets
When you're doing a big-budget movie and you're four on the call sheet, you've got a lot of free time.
people rich broke
I met so many people after I got rich and famous, and I learned that you can't ultimately trust people unless they were your friends when you were broke.
artist years two
So there's a cloud of rage around me, but being an artist kind of changes that. No matter what you thought coming in, what ignorant thing you believed, you're in show business for two years, you're like, "OK, I was wrong." It's hard to be mad at any particular group of people when you're an artist.
world tomorrow
Tomorrow is more sure than just about anything else in the entire world.
dad kids facts
My dad worked every day. I didn't get into show business to work every day. So the fact that most days I get to like, spend really good time with my kids - that's what success is to me.
girl daughter winning
I've been away from my two daughters at a very important time in their life.'I have missed most of Girl Scout cookie season.Last night Zahra, my youngest called me up and said :"Daddy how come we never sell the most cookies? How come Mrs. Dunn wins every year?"'
dad lost should
I can see the humor in just about any situation. After I lost my dad, I realized that none of us should take things too seriously, because everything except death works itself out.
book mean kids
Success is just hanging out with my kids. I mean, I always say if you have options, you're rich. To me, success is the fact that hey, I just did a movie and maybe I'll do some stand up, maybe I'll will write a book or maybe I will do a play.
writing thinking laughing
I don't write jokes first. I write down topics. I think of what I want to talk about, and then I write the jokes - they don't write me... And even if you don't think it's funny, you won't think it's boring. You might disagree, but you'll listen. And maybe even laugh as you disagree.
guy nerd littles
I'm a nerd. I'm a little guy... the last guy you'd expect in a romantic movie.
comedian oscars tradition
I like the tradition of the Oscars. I like that some of the greatest comedians ever have hosted the show.
rainy-day car house
Nobody's about saving anymore. No one cares about a rainy day anymore. Nobody saves up enough for even an umbrella for a rainy day. It's sad. It really is a new form of slavery. We used to work to be able to afford material things. Now we work for these things. They're the boss. That house you can't afford, that car that's out of your price range, that cellphone that drains your bank account - that's your boss.
funny hate rap
The government hates rap. That's why they don't arrest anybody that kills rappers! Only the good ones are dead, man! Only the good ones: Biggie dead, Tupac dead, Vanilla Ice still alive! They don't fill out a police report. They don't even have a chalk line when it's a dead rapper, they just take a piss around the body.
funny humor guy
You know those guys that go to the strip club at the daytime? If you're at a strip club, and the sun is out, you got some problems!
