In this day and age, you need a lot of patience if you are in the movie business.

I'm not going to turn down an Oscar, but I'm not strategizing for one.
-
I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.
-
I've watched 'Being There' over 50 times, and every time I watch it, I love every frame. I just wish I had directed it myself.
-
I've been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid.
-
I learn more from the audience than I can from anybody else. Not from what they write on the scorecards, but how they respond to the movie while they're watching it - where they laugh and where they react.
-
In my public life, I'm just a guy who enjoys having fun.
-
I love that feeling of going into a packed theater.
-
Do I have a small movie in me? Yeah, probably, when I'm 60. But I'm not Hal Ashby, I'm not Roman Polanski. I'm true to myself. Whether you like it or not.
-
I love movie directors. I don't care who it is.
-
I look for stuff that I'm passionate about.
-
Having love in your heart doesn't count for much if what comes out of your mouth is ugly and bigoted.

Woody Allen is in his '70s and he's making movies, so I look forward to getting there.

My mom had me when she was 16, and I was an only child, which is probably why I received a lot of love and didn't miss that my father wasn't around.
-
I'm a laugher and a lover of comedy.
-
I'm constantly being visually stimulated.
-
Everyone who knows me knows that I don't have a prejudiced bone in my body.
-
I learn from every movie I do because on every movie I have a different experience.
-
Before I did 'Rush Hour,' I was a big fan of Jackie Chan movies and I had seen all of them.
