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.

If you're constantly moving, you can get in a monotony that's just as equally boring as sitting still for a long period of time.

I live in Florida and people are crazy here. And I say that lovingly.

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'd meet a new filmmaker that I'd always loved, and I'd think, "Great! I'm in the right place." It's a weird way to look at it, but I don't care as long as I'm able to make stuff that I want to make.

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

I've seen comedians make people laugh by being either really dark and sad and touching, or really strange and bizarre and creepy. You can take the format and do whatever you want with it, and that seemed interesting to me.
