"It's better for me to go up against someone's passion with my passion and then clarifying something that he wrote. Then I know how to work around certain things.”

“My mother was nuts. She was very funny. We got our sense of humor from her. My father had no sense of humor and they yelled at each other.”

“I have a whole museum almost. Baseball and basketball take up the bulk of it, and there's some football and a little bit of hockey.”

“I think all directors should at least take acting classes and see what an actor goes through. And I think all actors should try to direct and see what a director has to go through - like we don't do it on purpose to take three hours to light the scene. I'm not thrilled with it either but that's what it takes.”

“I live in L.A., so I go to basketball games. But I love baseball.”
