I love action films. It's my favorite genre.

Action alone doesnt work in Germany - you need an emotional element to the story.

We havent done action movies in Germany. We had some attempts in the 90s, but they failed.

Living in New York is like being at some terrible late-night party. You're tired you've had a headache since you arrived but you can't leave because then you'd miss the party.

Discover your own style. Don't try to repeat what has already been written - have the courage to do your own thing and don't be afraid to do something different.

The fact is, unlike a lot of writers, I credit the people who help me. A lot of writers out there have a ton of researchers and they don't get credited in the book.

There are a lot of great jokes you can sit down and write, but that's just a written joke, versus the comedy of the situation. Ideally, you're pulling as much comedy out of the situation as you can.

I'm a cup of tea in a world of lattes.

The man who has not the habit of reading is imprisoned in his immediate world.

If a man knew how to live he would never die.

Aren't we all striving to be overpaid for what we do?
