- Characters staring at love interests in slow-motion
- Often has a scene where characters encounter a group of thugs
- Directed one actor to an Oscar-nominated performance: Robert Duvall, nominated for Best Supporting Actor in The Judge (2014).
- Was attached to direct I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007).
- Has an older sister, Jill.
- [on directing Robert Downey Jr. in The Judge (2014)] He loyally followed the material. When an actor becomes a movie-star, always in the spotlight like Robert, they tend to swing really hard and go for it, but he didn't do that. He had incredible control and I was profoundly impressed.
- Laughter is really a gift. It's the most vulnerable state you can be in.
- I believe comedy should be free to go anywhere. I believe that there is tasteful and untasteful, I think they're very close to each other, and it's how you handle it tonally. But I'm an equal opportunity offender. I'm happy to go at anything that has a cause to be laughed at.
- Wedding Crashers (2005) is a very soft movie in the way that it's emotional. It's about friendship, love and relationships. I tend to go to the light. My frustration in life is that I've always been a lover of Paul McCartney. You want to be taken seriously as the artist and be John Lennon, and I've always been drawn to the Paul McCartney colors in life.
- Laughter is binary: It either happens or it doesn't. As each joke arrives in the course of a film, the cavernous space of the theater is either filled with joy and laughter or with the quiet of cringing embarrassment. Every time you step to the plate to make a joke, you're going to experience one or the other.
