“If you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you’ve got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that.”

Wake up determined. Go to bed satisfied.

I love driving the cool cars, but there is nothing like driving a pickup truck.

Once you believe in who you are and who you were born to be, it can be very powerful.

I don’t worry about overexposure [in work], I think it’s important just to go in, and think about quality work and try to put the best movies out.

Success isn’t overnight. It’s when everyday you get a little better than the day before. It all adds up.

You’ve got to keep your finger on the pulse of what your audience is thinking and know what they’ll accept from you.

Success at anything will always come down to this: focus & effort. And we control both.

You will go one on one with the Great One!

There is no substitute for hardwork. Always be humble and hungry.

My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.

I’m very low-key. I don’t really blend in, so it’s difficult to go out in public. I like to do things that are kind of quiet, whether it’s a dinner at my house or a restaurant, or a movie night at home.

If you are halfway smart, and you could really listen to the audience, you could really learn a lot.

Those who are truly brave, shall never live in fear.

If you’re going to make a comedy and if your sole interest is in making people laugh and feel good and entertaining them, then you check your ego at the door.

The only thing strong about the French Army is their damn body odor.

In my entire career, I’ve never cried, consistently, through a movie, ever.

Getting an audience is hard. Sustaining an audience is hard. It demands a consistency of thought, of purpose, and of action over a long period of time.

When I began acting, my biggest fear was whether the audience will appreciate the kind of films I do.

There’s nothing more fun than being out on stage and getting the vibe from the crowd. There’s nothing like being on a set where you are there to make other people happy and to make them laugh. That’s the best job in the world.

Come out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.

The life of a rock & roll band will last as long as you can look down into the audience and see yourself.

Of course I talk to myself. I like a good speaker, and I appreciate an intelligent audience.

The way a dancer can bring the crowd to its feet with a drawn-out, well-executed pirouette is the excitement I wanted to capture with this design.

We are the witnesses to the miracle. We are put here by creation, by God….We’re here to be the audience to the magnificent. It is our job to celebrate.
