I've been to many funerals of funny people, and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have, because the emotions run high.

I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.

What's interesting about books that take place in the future, even twenty years in the future, is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future, just like there is now.

I can't not put humor in a book.

I had a very wise person tell me that he thinks marriage, when you're younger, you keep thinking you can fix things. That's what people do. And you can't really fix anything. It shouldn't be a massive difficult thing every day. Life's difficult enough.

My mom was a professional. My dad and mom met each other in a movie called 'New Faces of 1937.' My mom went under the name Thelma Leeds, and she did a few movies, and she was really a great singer, and when she married my dad and started to have a family, she sang at parties.

If we had 3 million exhibitionists and only one voyeur, nobody could make any money.

I like movies about failing.

Movies are an expensive business.

I cast unusual people in my movies.
