You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue the way the people played off each other - the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

Most movies once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end.

It's like those high-school yearbook photos that everyone would rather not see: Oh my God look at that mullet hair. I have those photos too but for me they're like entire movies. And they show them on cable.

I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Who's to say anybody's even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that I've done people still recite lines to me even 20 years later.

I was never into the popular school or clique or anything. Then I started doing movies when I was in high school so then I got popular. Then the girls paid attention to you who didn't before.

I don't want to produce anymore small or independent movies because it's just too hard these days.

Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.

The movies have got more corporate they're making fewer movies in general and those they are making are all $200-$300m tent-pole releases that eat up all the oxygen.

It seems to me that one thing people do over and over again is try to figure out how to get married stay married fall in love how to rekindle all this stuff. It seems to me to be a pretty eternal theme so I don't know if you can get typecast from making movies about men relating to women. It seems to be what is going on on the planet a lot.

I love these movies where it's just about the film. You don't have my face on the poster. It's all about the movie. I like that.
