How do I speak Spanish? Not too well.

If it's something I feel I can do alright, I like being in those, and some that I think Rob Schneider and David Spade would be funnier at than me, I tell them to do it. I don't have any clue how we decide. There's this thing, this "Click", actually, one of my friends called me up, my partner told me about this idea that Steve Koren had. Steve Koren, by the way, the guy who wrote it with Mark O'Keefe, Steve Koren I've known since I was 22. He was a page at Saturday Night Live.

I do want children. I study dads more. I watch what they go through. I admire my father more than I ever did and my brother and my sister.

Sixth grade was a big time, in my childhood, of hoops and friendship, and coming up with funny things.
Adam Sandler -
The problem with me, as far as getting married and having a family, is that my comedy is so important to me. So I don't know if I'll ever be as good a dad as my dad.

When I was kid, yeah, my family, my parents wanted me to marry a Jewish girl because that was what they taught their children, and thought it would be an easier life for me to raise a Jewish kid. And I have a Jewish wife, I have a Jewish kid. They seem pretty happy about it.

It's nice when little teams win.

I've always liked older ladies, ever since my mother would have B'nai B'rith at our house.

I don't know what drives me to succeed. I know I want to always do the best I can.I guess I was maybe in little league baseball as far as I wanted to be good at that. But school, I certainly wasn't the best at that.
Adam Sandler -
I was raised by a mother who told me I was great every day of my life.
Adam Sandler -
How do I speak Spanish? Not too well. Paz taught me a few words that, if people weren't nice to me, I could tell them a few things. I got to study with [chef] Thomas Keller, who we all love as a guy and Jim had a relationship with him at [his restaurant] the French Laundry.

I think when I bought a house, that's when I thought I felt like that's a grown up thing to do.
Adam Sandler -
I've been called a moron since I was about four. My father called me a moron. My grandfather said I was a moron. And a lot of times when I'm driving, I hear I'm a moron. I like being a moron.
Adam Sandler -
I guess I was maybe in little league baseball as far as I wanted to be good at that. But school, I certainly wasn't the best at that. But comedy thing and making movies and stuff, I love it so much that I do get driven to push myself as hard as I can.

Me and Fred Wolf wrote the movie [ Grown Ups]. The whole idea was about putting together old friends that get to hang out for a weekend.

Comedy, such a lovely lady, she'll pick you up, you your feeling blue.

Sitting in a room being forced to listen to 'The Chanukah Song' over and over." [on his idea of Hell]
Adam Sandler -
I sang a song at my sister's wedding. My mother forced me into that, too. But that one felt all right.
Adam Sandler -
Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.
Adam Sandler -
I definitely connected to the fact that life gets out of control and you end up doing things and wishing you were doing other things instead.

The only reason I got into stand-up was because my brother told me to. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I was 17 and my brother went to a comedy club and he said - you can do that.
Adam Sandler -
I sing seriously to my mom on the phone. To put her to sleep, I have to sing 'Maria' from West Side Story. When I hear her snoring, I hang up.
Adam Sandler -
I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.
Adam Sandler -
I'm 31 now. I think I'm beginning to understand what life is, what romance is, and what a relationship means.
