In the comedies I've been lucky enough to be a part of a world like Judd Apatow's, where I believe comedy comes from real people.

It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do.

Germany's amongst my top three places in the world I'd like to live.

I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, "People will LOVE the ninja version of that."

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.

If you're trying to make someone happy, you gotta try and make them happy.

New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'

The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.

I don't like to say mean things about people's hard work.

I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.

I mean, being shot in slow motion doing cocaine by Martin Scorsese is, like, maybe every actor's dream. Nothing will compare to it. Except maybe having kids.

There was no thunderbolt, no quickening of the heart, but there was a sense of recognition.A familiarity about his face..

The sky was like ebony and the only illumination was the harsh white light of the central streetlamp, which cast shadows so hard it seemed you might cut yourself on them.

I can't explain some of the things I've seen and...I've done some things I can't explain.

All the known world excepting only savage nations is governed by books.

Information is not culture. In the mind of a truly educated person, facts are organized, and they make up a living world in the image of the world of reality.

Sometimes we're gonna have our bad days, but we must continue to work to be great. Keep smiling. It looks beautiful on you!!

I like to use big words so people will think I know what I'm talking about.

I thought it would be funny to take a photo in the White House bathroom, I take pictures everywhere I go, but I don't think I can top that one.

I like to have powerful enemies. Makes me feel important.

Pass down values every day through your actions, your words and your time with your kids.
