It's so funny, all the similarities that we have [with David Copperfield] of being obsessed young people and finding a way to be around the people doing what we want to do.

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.

I've come to believe that the simpler the title, the better. Whenever I try to get cute with it, it seems to be a problem but if it's just The 40-Year-Old Virgin, people seem to know what they're in for.

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 always talking to people. It's not that complicated. I just find somebody and say, Do you have any ideas. If they do, we just start thinking things around.

I don't think it matters what the frequency is of me writing or directing a movie. It doesn't really matter to anybody else. I'm just trying to put good things out there.

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.

The ones [comedies] that I always liked, whether it's Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, or Fast Times of Ridgemont High, they were all about two hours, or a little bit over two hours. With that extra 15 or 20 minutes, you can get to real character and you're not just stuck in plot.

I'm always begging people like James Brooks and Cameron Crowe to come to screenings, to see what they make of it, and they're always ridiculously helpful. They also keep me brave enough to commit to what I'm trying to do. They can be great cheerleaders for risk-taking.

Some people are probably saner. They're good performers, and they go about their day. I just get obsessive about it.
