“When the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I’m so happy I did a nice thing.”

I’ve always liked older ladies, ever since my mother would have B’nai B’rith at our house.

It’s important I surround myself with people who make me happy.

It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you’re surrounded by turkeys.

I had my moments of being humiliated, and then I had moments of doing something humiliating. I’m glad I lived out both roles.

I definitely connected to the fact that life gets out of control and you end up doing things and wishing you were doing other things instead.

In one day, I have times where I’m feeling great, I feel like I love my life, and then 2:30 rolls around and I’m the angriest man alive. My wife sees it.

You’ve just got to give yourself time – that’s good advice I think. Give yourself time to figure out what you’re good at and what you’re not good at.

I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff.

With the amount of money I have, it’s difficult raising children the way I was raised.

I think when I bought a house, that’s when I thought I felt like that’s a grown up thing to do.

I enjoy doing all different types of movies even though I am the most comfortable with comedy.

I wasn’t a kid growing up thinking, ‘One day I’ll get an Oscar and make a speech.’ That wasn’t on my mind.

I do feel good doing them [family-friendly movies], but it’s not going to be my way of life. I’m a comedian.

Now that I’m a parent, I understand why my father was in a bad mood a lot.

I do want children. I study dads more. I watch what they go through. I admire my father more than I ever did and my brother and my sister.

I don’t laugh at me. I used to. I used to get the giggles when I’d see myself. But now, I see myself onscreen, and I sure don’t laugh.

If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.

To have great poets, there must be great audiences.

I love kids, but they are a tough audience.

Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage.

When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.

I usually dont like to spoon feed my audience, because I grew up idolizing story tellers who tell stories using symbolism, so it was in my nature to do the same.

Math jokes have a small audience.

The play was a great success, but audience was a dismal failure.
