“Guys are natural problem solvers – they like to have strategies.”

FBF to one of the most beautiful locations I’ve ever shot at.

Rise up. Register. Let your voice be heard.

I can definitely dance, but pedestrian dancing.

I’m not so keen on letting my car drive itself.

I don’t have a smart house. My house is very dumb.

Each movie you do about a real person is like a painting, and you choose certain things in the painting that you want to pull out and you want to show.

I’d taken, like, maybe some African dance classes a couple of times, but I wasn’t a musical theater person at all.

I can’t even imagine something being more fun than playing James Brown onstage.

I don’t read reviews, but I do get feedback from my peers and people I know, like other actors and directors and producers.

Sometimes when you’re acting, you only need a little bit of something to sort of channel or, you know, transport into a place.

As a director, it is important to understand the actor’s process.

I might have had too many friends in my twenties.

I think the most stressful time of my life was when I was in New York, and I didn’t have money to pay my rent.

I would love to play Jimi Hendrix.

I’m not the kind of guy who wakes up angry.

When a girl cries over a guy, she really loves him. When a guy cries over a girl, he will never love another girl like her.

There’s a spirit that grabs me, and it’s in every one of you guys, but the questions is, how much time are we wasting?

I like the public hot-tub at the hotels. I like when a guy is already in there, I say, “Hey, do you mind if I join you?” Then I go turn the heat up, and I add some carrots and onions.

When you open the elevator on the top floor of a building and the other guy doesn’t get out, something is seriously wrong.

Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.

Hell must be a pretty swell spot, because the guys that invented religion have sure been trying hard to keep everybody else out.

The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.
