I grew up with baseball; I played in Little League and went to games with my dad. But I, as I grew up, became more of a basketball fanatic than a baseball one.
I've learned through experience of playing different characters, some of whom were jerks, that when you play a character who is pretentious or obnoxious, in any way, it's important to knock them down a peg.
Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.
All this stuff is so mind-blowing to me that I get to do in my life. Throwing the first pitch out at the White Sox game on a random Wednesday? Like who am I? How did I get this life? I'm glad I'm not jaded, and little kids are the least jaded people in the entire world, so it's fun to be around people that still find wonder in how cool things are.
Albert Brooks is definitely one of my biggest influences, for sure.
I run and do a lot of push-ups and eat healthy.
One of the greatest moments of my career was on the road promoting 'Superbad' with Michael Cera and Chris Mintz-Plasse. We were showing the movie at colleges.
The fact that the Kardashians could be more popular than a show like 'Mad Men' is disgusting. It's a super disgusting part of our culture, but I still find it funny to make a joke about it.
I believe in collaboration. I think that is the most entertaining and effective way to write for me, personally.
I learn a lot from every director that I work with. I sit on set and watch them, every one.
I just like to act and write and produce. To me, making movies is the ultimate goal.
I love it, man; I'm 23 years old and I'm lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can't believe it's happening.
I grew up in the '80s in L.A., so Ice Cube and Magic Johnson are my heroes.
I would never remake something that was like 'The Godfather.' Things that are truly important to me, I could never remake or reboot, or whatever.
