“Dr. Evil got shortchanged in the first one. The family dynamic between Scott and Dr. Evil - the adventures of being an evil single parent - needed to be explored.”
“My parents would read those books to me as well but they used to make me starving when I was a kid because they were always eating ham sandwiches with the crusts off and drinking ginger beer.”
“Justin Timberlake is the single most talented human being I've ever met in my life, and it sickens me. He is, like, 12 years old or something! He has 0 percent body fat, he is musically gifted, he has a great ear for accents, and he is hilarious.”
“I had a blast, but I still wonder sometimes why they saw me as the perfect guy for this strange character.”
“My Dad was from Liverpool, and he picked it up in the army. He'd often come out with this stuff.”
“If I went by all the rejection I've had in my career, I should have given up a long time ago.”
“I like smart jokes, I like dumb jokes, and I like dumb jokes done smartly.”
“I still believe that at any time the no-talent police will come and arrest me.”
“And I thought, when I have kids, that's the sort of well told, silly, and fun fairy tale that I would want to take them to. But it was an amazing experience. And I think Shrek is a real classic, a fairy tale classic.”
“Well, I like how people talk. I like language. You know, Linda Richman spoke in Yiddish.”
“Dad loved movies, and I grew up with British comedy. My ultimate favourite is Peter Sellers.”
“My father was always a straight-up funny guy. He was silly. He was my inspiration.”
“My dad sold encyclopedias and my mom worked in a factory office.”
“Anyone who tells you fatherhood is the greatest thing that can happen to you, they are understating it.”
“Verne's all about what you can do versus what you can't do. He just kept saying yes and his part kept growing. I would love to work with him in every movie.”
“I love making comedy. I never stopped loving it. I will continue to love it and I can't believe that I get to do it.”
“My father was a very funny man, and one of my strongest recollections is hearing him laugh. He didn't like people who had no sense of humour.”
“I do miss Saturday Night Live, that's for sure. There's nothing like it. I just hosted, and I felt I'd only been away for a week.”
“When you're writing these things, you're in a room making each other laugh, you really have very little sense of political correctness or incorrectness. This is a question that Europe tends to ask and America doesn't.”
“Shooting this one was kind of like a two month party, we would literally play music between takes, and other movies that were shooting on our lot would play hookey, come over and hang out and stuff. We had a great time.”
