“Maybe forced retirement isn’t necessary after all.”

I think this whole celebrity world is weird anyway. Weird and funny and kind of pathetic and yet so right for parody.

It was a mixed blessing to have famous parents. It was tough to go to auditions and be bad, since I couldn’t be anonymous.

My parents used to throw great New Year’s Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment.

It was Mick Jagger’s idea.The other one was Simple Plan, based on a novel by Scott Smith. It’s a great book – really stark, not a comedy – about a guy who finds $4 million in a plane crash and decides to keep it.

I don’t have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor. I don’t have a master plan in that way.

If you look at my eyes when I’m dancing, you’ll see that glazed look.

There’s an old saying in Hollywood: It’s not the length of your film, it’s how you use it.

The big-name stars . . . are always going to be playing what they’ve played before if they want to remain so-called A-list stars. That’s why someone like Johnny Depp is doing more interesting roles not caring about the size of the movie.

I wanted to be funny for people who didn’t care about fashion at all, to just to kind of exist as a silly character.

I love New York. I was sad, depressed and incredibly moved by our fellow countrymen and what they’ve done. I wanted to give people a chance to see something funny, have a distraction.

Whatever talent I had, I’m sure it helped that my parents were in the business and that I grew up around actors, comedians and directors.

When you have kids you want to be able to go to movies and take the family too, and actually all enjoy it together. I don’t think there are that many great, live action family movies that everybody can enjoy.

Zoolander was more of my own sensibility.

The failure of The Cable Guy impacted my career. I had to start writing and acting again.

I don’t need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines !

It’s weird that people expect me to be funny. I find it a real burden when I’m expected to be humorous on talk shows.

After winning, most teams become individuals; most teams become complacent.

We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.

How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.

My wife goes to Birmingham five times a week. My mom lives in Birmingham now after moving from Myrtle Beach. It’s not just the job. A lot of people don’t get that. My life is here.

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity.

God looks after children, animals and idiots.

I am not enough of a mathematician to be able to judge either the well-foundedness or the limits of relativity in physics.

I look for what needs to be done. After all, that’s how the universe designs itself.
