"Man, I don't know what the downs have been. I mean, maybe in some people, when they write about me, they talk about my downs. But I don't have any downs. I love every movie I've made. I've never in my entire career phoned one thing in."

A little odd for him to say that since he once admitted some of his movies have been just paid vacations for him. Isn't that kind of equivalent to phoning it in?

Actually, there are many of us out there in Audience-Land who'd have been just as happy to have had him phone it in and stay off the screen altogether.

This was my thought. I've seen him do good work in dramas. I don't think he's without talent. But as far as comedy he's a one trick pony and is always the same guy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
