When I was a kid, it was a huge insult to be a geek. Now it's a point of pride in a weird way.

I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid.

When I was a kid going into the movies, you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.

When I was a kid, among the other embarrassing things I would do, and there's a list of stupid things, but I would make these dumb comedy tapes. I would often make prank phone calls, but I would also do it with friends.

When I was a little kid - and even still - I loved magic tricks. When I saw how movies got made - at least had a glimpse when I went on the Universal Studios tour with my grandfather, I remember feeling like this was another means by which I could do magic.

With three kids you are just trying to survive. You can't be fastidious.
