Twitter, to me, works if you're funny. Twitter doesn't work as a promotional tool unless you do it very, very, very occasionally.

I just like making people laugh, and buried in that I like to bring up topics and start discussions.

'Drive' came to me because the casting director knew my manager and called and said, 'You've always talked to me about Albert wanting to play the heavy. I think he should read this.' My ears just perked up.

There's nothing funny about flying to Houston.

I'm not a big fan of the post-Armageddon stories, where Denzel Washington is walking around in a torn coat.

Film is the cheapest part of the movie making process. The expense is the 100-man crew and the financing and everything.

Even though my father was a radio comedian, it wasn't cool to say, at a young age, 'I want to be a comedian.'

A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!

So I think if you're happy with your brain, you're powerful.

You can equate acting to a tennis game: When you're playing one of the best, you get better.

My friend Harry Nilsson used to say the definition of an artist was someone who rode way ahead of the herd and was sort of the lookout. Now you don't have to be that, to be an artist. You can be right smack-dab in the middle of the herd. If you are, you'll be the richest.

Excited about Black Friday. Also excited about Jew Tuesday.

I guess 'The Player' was a pretty good L.A. movie. And 'Chinatown.' Was there ever a better L.A. movie about a certain period in L.A.? That was terrific.

When I went to acting school, the kids that got the best grades were the kids that could cry on cue. But it didn't really translate into careers for any of them, because the external is the easy part.

All improv turns into anger. All comedy improv basically turns into anger, because that's all people know how to do when they're improvising. If you notice shows that are improvising are generally people yelling at each other.

I never wanted to be a director.

For the most part, improvising while cameras are rolling is very difficult. 99% of people you should never ask to do that, because they're under pressure, the clock is running, 80 people are staring at you...it's always unnatural.

What's interesting about books that take place in the future, even twenty years in the future, is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future, just like there is now.

I'm not Elvis. I don't get chased by paparazzi.

Regrets are stupid they don't mean anything and they don't add up to anything.

What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is. If you had an unlimited budget, if you were a billionaire and you financed your own movies, then you can either date, because you can sit in an editing room for six years, like Howard Hughes, and never finish anything.
