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 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've had some lovely extraordinary experiences on New Year's Eve.

I have no way of knowing how people really feel, but the vast majority of those I meet couldn't be nicer. Every once in a while someone barks at me. My New Year's resolution is not to bark back.

Let our New Year's resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word.

The last thing I stole was a box of Coca Cola from a parked truck in Adelaide. I was nice and drunk. It was New Year's Eve. And that was about 28 years ago.

Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.

Well, Judy, I would hope in the new year, we could start thinking about politics not like it was the Super Bowl, where you always have to have one team that wins and the other team has to be a loser.

New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.

I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.

I played Baby New Year. When everybody started hollering and throwing confetti, I thought it was for me.

And New Year's Eve is very, very important to me.

But to the slave mother New Year's day comes laden with peculiar sorrows. She sits on her cold cabin floor, watching the children who may all be torn from her the next morning; and often does she wish that she and they might die before the day dawns.

It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets.

By the new year of 1994, it had grown up into Inform 4 and could produce games twice as large.
