My unconscious knows more about the consciousness of the psychologist than his consciousness knows about my unconscious.

I don't sing. If I could sing or dance, I would have done something really gross in a G-string by now - when I wasn't working and was desperate - and ruined my career.

Sometimes it's all about hype, and I didn't want hype.

Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity.

My theory is that I'm just closer to the sun than everyone else. I weigh more than everyone else, I'm taller than everyone else. When it's really humid and hot outside it's going to take a bigger toll...

My biggest concern is people misunderstanding me.

We notice in others only those things that relate to ourselves. For example, you could find someone hilarious and brilliant, and I could find the same person idiotic and annoying. It's the same person...

I would never have been a good scientist - my attention span was too short for that.

I am a better cook than actor.

I'm humble because I think many years ago people said, 'Well, Alibaba's a terrible company.' And I know we were not that terrible. We're pretty good; we're better than people thought. But today, when...

It's very difficult for me to look at politics with clear eyes. I'll read a story in the paper and the first thing that pops into my head is, what would my dad say about that? Then I try to break out...

I am definitely a perfectionist, and I do like things a certain way. But as I have got older, I would say that I am a little bit less of a control freak.

What skills I lacked in, say, math or science, I like to think I made up for in my ability to read people and situations with great clarity. I therefore considered myself as a sort of valued...

Jimmy Fallon's strengths are that he's fun, and he's good at impressions, and he's musically inclined. And my strength is that I'm a joke writer, but I also have no filter, and I think that that's not...

I'm a very slow screenwriter. It takes time for me to write a screenplay. Also, I feel it's not my strength.

I've been famous for a long, long time. So I don't think of it - I think of it very differently. It's the normal temperature of my room.

I was not good at team sports, I have to say. I'm quite good at individual sports, but I was not good at team sports, so I wasn't good at baseball and football.

It's not only imagination, it's the distortion of the vision. You suddenly think, This person is idealistic, this person is strong, this person has dreams, when you know better most of the time. You...
