I did karate for a really long time, almost 10 years when I was younger.
Most people I work with are older than me and the main thing I've learnt is that everyone is a dumb as an 18-year-old.
I read the script [ of 'Steve Jobs' movie ], and it was very, very good. I wasn't sure they would want me to be in the movie, but I auditioned for it. Which I hadn't done in a few years. But I had auditioned in the previous few years for another movie that I did not get the part. And so my track record wasn't good. But I really wanted to audition because I was worried that I was going to blow it, and I wanted it to be on them for choosing me.
I've seen a lot of movies get made where no one has control. No one likes it.
People recognise me and come up to me sometimes, but I'm not like George Clooney.
You look at CG sometimes and its terrible. You look at CG sometimes and its great.
I first did standup at a lesbian bar. I didn't know it was a lesbian bar at the time, but the lesbians loved me. I was huge among the lesbians and am to this day. I'm thrilled with the lesbian support.
Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.
I'm proud to say that I've never had a normal job. I started doing stand-up when I was in high school, purely as a measure to never get a proper job.
To me all men are boy-men. I don't know any man that's actually mature.
My high school years were exactly like 'Superbad.'
Marriage can be expensive, and if I lose millions then it'll be the best millions I've spent.
With me, I probably work a lot more than people assume I do, but people don't realize how much work goes into writing and producing and making a movie.
There is a certain security in having a great supporting cast.
