"I'm not looking to get away from anything. I like what I've done. I like what I get to do and I enjoy working with my friends. I loved those movies, but this is incredible"
About this Quote
The line also sneaks in a thesis about labor and loyalty. "I enjoy working with my friends" isn’t a throwaway; it’s a clue to the Sandler model, where the set is a hangout, the paycheck is real, and the point is continuity. In an industry that sells transformation, he’s selling stability - a career built less on reinvention than on protecting a particular ecosystem of people, tone, and control.
"I loved those movies, but this is incredible" does two jobs at once. It honors the old work without recasting it as embarrassing juvenilia, while leaving space for the present moment to feel like growth rather than escape. The subtext is: I’m allowed to evolve without renouncing my past. Coming from an actor often treated as a punchline by gatekeepers and a comfort food by audiences, it’s a canny reclamation of narrative authority - and a subtle flex.
