  • Quotes
    [re careers of his and collaborator/wife Melissa] We're not very far removed from having to take any job that we can find, to get a job, because you want to be working. Someone sends you a script for the craziest idea ever-it could be about, like, the Abominable Snow-Woman-and you could be like, 'I don't know, maybe we should consider it?'
    • Often cameos with wife Melissa McCarthy
