My wife and I, we met making a movie. This is not just our job, it's our life. It's what we do naturally whether we're working together or not.

My doctor said, 'If you can weigh what you weighed in high school, you'll essentially be healthy and not have Type 2 diabetes.' Well, I'm gonna have Type 2 diabetes, because there is no way I can weigh as much as I did in high school.
