'Beetlejuice' was a romp, man. 'Beetlejuice' was fun. I've never had so much fun in my life.
I don't know how to not be outside since I was a little kid.
If I didn't do 'Batman,' 'Birdman' wouldn't have happened.
I'd get scripts and think: 'What's the point of this?'
I don't think there's anybody better than Leonardo DiCaprio, and I've been saying that since before anyone knew who he was.
I fear they will take advantage of the good will of the people who continue to show up. For my money, that's disrespectful. At some point, you either have to write the check or do something and not assume, well, we're OK and, ultimately, the franchise is valuable, anyway, like Donald Sterling did with the Los Angeles Clippers.
I'm getting more and more bored with professional sports, but I still watch.
I'm envious of writers and musicians. I think it must be so difficult. Not just the frustration, but the discipline.
I hope this doesn't sound pretentious, but I very often like the way Europeans make movies. I think sometimes that don't they care about having to clean certain things.
Magna carta. Master charga.
Is this a great country, or what?
You tell me another gang that's got a dental plan.
I played a lot of sports when I was a kid so I get in that ballgame mindset of being really, really respectful, but at same time saying to yourself, 'Don't back down a single inch, hang with these guys if you can.' If they throw it high and tight you have to stand in there, you can't take yourself out of that moment.
High energy creates more energy, more energy, more energy. It kicks off synapses, I guess. It opens up your brain and you think of one thing after another thing, after another. You can really open yourself up comedically, which is fun.
