You know if I started worrying about what the critics think I'd never make another comedy. You couldn't pick a less funny group than critics - you couldn't find a more bitter group of people!
I would do it today because the thing that appealed to me was not necessarily the mechanics of the robot but it was his personality and how funny and charming he was.
Comedy is so subjective. You could be in a room with 400 people laughing at a joke and you could just not think it's funny. You're just sitting there like 'Am I in the twilight zone? Why is everyone laughing?' It's such a personal thing. People have such a personal visceral response to comedy.
Now that I'm more mature in a funny way I can even appreciate that I've bad to become more aware of my body. Since I've chosen acting as my career I have to keep my weight down anyway-I've been used to it for years so it's no problem. And there's nothing I can't do.
I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.
There's a darkness under 'The Hangover' because ultimately there's a missing person and it's not really that funny. There's a sort of darkness under it that I love and still people are laughing as hard if not harder than they did in 'Old School.'
It's a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers and you see them sort of slow down and you realize maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. That's sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesn't happen to me.
If you look at the game and everything it's not quite like looking at an animated film because that's total character. This this is really movement but it's got funny little things if you look for the humor. They're actually getting to the character.
It's funny: I've been very successful and done a lot of films and I don't really have an agent - I don't really pursue jobs I let people come to me.
Kyle Baker's work is really funny but it's also got a very clear vision.
