There's nothing the people love more than a Federal Reserve joke.

Benito Mussolini created the word 'fascism.' He defined it as 'the merging of the state and the corporation.' He also said a more accurate word would be 'corporatism.' This was the definition in Webster's up until 1987 when a corporation bought Webster's and changed it to exclude any mention of corporations.

Hollywood has to appeal to the broadest audience, and when it comes to most social and economic issues, America is progressive. Because of that, the messages that are in Hollywood movies tend to be, for instance, pro-environment.

I'm just a giant film fan, so I love action movies out of all kinds of movies. As a film geek, it's amazing to be able to shoot this stuff.

Obamacare is a private mandate that will drive billions to the insurance industry, much like the auto insurance mandate. Hardly socialism. In fact, it was a Republican plan to begin with.

The easiest time to be funny is during a fairly serious situation. That way you can break the ice.

David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.

I could see how people get addicted to animation, and I understand why it's so great for comedy. You can do whatever you want and it just happens.

We punch mirrors and we explore our darker selves. No, it's just an amalgam of all newscasters that we grew up with. Sort of like before there was cable, when these people were like gods.

There's always way less improv than people think. The truth is something like 15 percent.

I've gotten like five laughs in movies, just off guy hugs.

Everyone is sort of in their own little area counting lines and no one talks when film's not rolling. There's constantly actors coming to me back behind the monitor screaming at me, Why did my line count drop? It's a nasty tense environment.
