I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.

I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.

I don't think know if anything's going to translate anywhere. You're making a movie, you hope it's going to be funny, you can't think about how it's going to go over.

I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.

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.

I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic actor.

Fashion is so over the top.

Paul is Starsky, and I met him before shooting. He was very kind and encouraged us to go with what we wanted to do. It was very sweet to see them back with the car after 25 years.

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.

Sometimes I wondered whether I hadn't let my career get confined to one direction, but lately I've decided to accept the fact that I have this opportunity to be successful doing comedies.

The cliches are that it's the most generic Starsky and Hutch plot you can find.

I don't think the public is dying to see me necessarily be funny all the time.

I'm not an expert on the Malaysian sense of humor.

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

Very quickly after meeting Dustin, the whole image I had of him was shattered.

Maybe forced retirement isn't necessary after all.

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.

Zoolander was more of my own sensibility.

I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.

You're freaked out that you're going to be having a child, and once you're looking after your daughter, it's the most beautiful thing in the world.

I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.

Even when I'm not directing, that doesn't stop Owen from having ideas for what I should be doing.

I just watched Paul Michael Glaser. He was the reason I wanted to do the movie because as a kid I was such a big fan of his. I watched all the episodes and tried to get a feeling for what he was doing.

My own parents were touchy-feely.

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

Jim Carrey, a comic genius, has a harder time overcoming the public's desire for him to be funny simply because he's so good at it.

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

I think people will be curious to see what I can do as a dramatic actor.

I think most politicians could take a dodgeball in the face.

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

There's always an element of fear that you need to work a lot until people get sick and tired of you or finally figure out that you're a fraud after all!

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.

I'm always willing to endure humiliation on behalf of my characters.

I don't devalue comedy as compared to drama. Not one bit.

I dont need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines

Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding.

The artist need not know very much; best of all let him work instinctively and paint as naturally as he breathes or walks.

Corporate partners help UNICEF fund our programmes for children, advocate with us on their behalf, or facilitate our work through logistical, technical, research or supply support.

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work.

I work to stay alive.
