If you were a U.S. Cavalry guy and you thought you were going to be captured by the Apaches, you might kill yourself. If they were with their wives and they thought they were going to be captured, they would shoot their wives for fear of the Apaches getting them.
I was just this video-store guy and now I was actually making movies and stuff.
My earliest childhood memories are of watching Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein and Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed. I remember not liking Frankenstein then and going, "Who is this bald guy?" But I love it now.
I remember, like, literally saying - watching some cowboy-and-Indian movie with my mother, and I go, so, if we were back then, we'd be the Indians, right? She goes, yup, that's who we'd be. We wouldn't be those guys in the covered wagons. We'd be the Indians.

Ben Affleck, he looked like a little girl! When I saw Ben Affleck and Dave Spade acting like little girls, I said I got this one. I'm all good. I don't have to worry about nothing. ... That part that was in the wall, that was the bomb.

That part that was in the wall, that was the bomb. I wanted a lot of wall time and Wally gave me the wall time.
Tell you what. Next time I do a movie, you can drive me to the set.
The fact that England has embraced me as one of its own is really cool,
