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?

I'm still craving approval from my parents. It took a lot of success for me to realize it was never coming. It's just not in their nature.

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

And I'm not anti-sequel, but I just feel like there are very few ideas that are meant to be continued.

I was that kind of kid that was going to the movies every weekend, I couldnt get enough of the movies, and now I get to make them. So I kind of have a one-track mind.

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 twice as funny, I'm twice as smart, I'm twice as whatever when I'm around other people that challenge me.
