I've gotten a lot more comfortable with the audition process, but there's something that really turned me off initially when I was younger, to auditioning. The idea that I couldn't get to the person that was actually making the film really frustrated me.

Boredom is usually what spurs either bad decisions or any decision at all.

I wish I could tell people what I'm directing next, but I can't.

I never knew where I was going to end up when I started film. I didn't start film to be famous. Of course, it's a public medium, and of course we chose a public medium because we like people to pay attention to the work that we're doing. But I didn't know what I was going to end up.

I've never really dreamed of owning a home. I don't think you go into the arts and also dream of owning a home.

I sublet place to place with my fiancé. We don't really have a home. I haven't had a proper home for years.

I was doing experimental theater and experimental film in San Francisco, and I moved to Los Angeles, and what I got frustrated with was, it seemed like everyone was waiting for something to happen. Obviously, films take a lot of planning, and I wanted something more immediate, and comedy started to become that.
