- Matthew: (on quiting acting to become a director) There's no talk about me stopping acting, I've been offered opportunities to direct things in the past, but simply didn't know how. Now I know how, so I want to do both.
  Edit Share Hide
- Matthew: The goal is to have to do the shot again because the camera guy shook a little bit as he was laughing. Without that happening, I'm not happy because there's nothing better for me than a world that everybody's just trying to make each other laugh.
