I hear Amy Schumer on Howard Stern, and I think, I wish there was a movie that starred her, because she's so interesting, and then at some point I go, I guess I have to get involved, because it's not happening right now. Maybe I should help try to make that happen.

We are at this weird moment where there's an economic model that supports creativity. People are demanding something new and fresh.

I really think more about being honest and truthful about feelings and how people behave for the movies that I direct, but I also love movies like Zohan and Anchorman, just balls to the wall, how much can you make people laugh in one 90 minute period.

The moment you think of a joke is the best moment.

Right when I started getting solid was when I was offered a lot of writing work. And when The Ben Stiller Show was picked up, I realized there was no way for me to do stand-up three or four nights a week and run this television show with Ben. So that was the moment when I had to make a choice.

You have to write a lot of scripts to get any scripts that are worth making.

I don't really get attached to anything. I'm pretty brutal about cutting stuff. With each successful movie, I've discovered anything that's not connected to the immediate story is going to be cut out of it.

I was a guest on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld, and I interviewed him when I was 15 years old-those moments really blow your mind.

I'm trying to think if there was ever the Lenny Bruce-y, observational, George Carlin kind of magician: You know what I hate is ... I don't think that ever existed.

All of my jokes were about not being able to meet anybody. I didn't have any insight into anything - even my own insecurities.

I love when people work together who know each other very well. Some of my favourite movies are people who are close friends or families.

It's funny when people debate about music, because they get so passionate about what they enjoy.

The little details really connect for people in ways I never realized before.I think that's why some of the movies have done well, because people are relating to things that I'm willing to expose.

I think we all have a love/hate relationship with the media.

It would be so irresponsible not to speak up. I don't know what I would do in my home and in my life if I didn't rant a little bit and as thoughtfully as I can with some humor.

You should look up some of the reviews. The New York Times review is so over-the-top funny. It's hysterical. You should dig it out.

I remember the Time review [on the Hit and Run]said that there wasn't one laugh in it. And I had watched the movie 50 times with audiences, and it always played great. There was certainly a moment where you could tell the audience was like, Wow, this is really getting weird.

Penn [Jillette] and Teller and I get along very well. We can call each other and say, I'm working on this classic effect. Please, I'd like to do it for a while. We'll all respect it. There are people we don't get along with, but mostly there is a respect amongst the group.
