Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor, but I always knew who was funny, who to hang out with.

I'm also a huge cinephile, and I have witnessed that to honor the book literally word-for-word never makes a good movie.

Well, executive producer can mean anything in the world of Hollywood, sadly. It can be a bought title in many instances.

I almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I dont want to paint the same painting again. I dont want to make the same sculpture again. Why shouldnt a big movie studio be able to make those small independent kinds of pictures? Why not change it up?

In fact, I don't think I'll ever make anything that will feel as divinely dropped in my lap as the opening of 'Wall-E.'
