If you let go of fart jokes, you've let go of a piece of humanity.

Part of why I think I have so much fun working in the mockumentary genre is that you can cut to pretty much anything at any time. People are now so conditioned to watch documentaries - they know how they operate, and that you can introduce a new character by cutting to them, and now they're in it. Similarly, being able to treat a sidebar idea that has nothing to do with your main story really seriously, the way the rest of it is being treated - all the pomp and circumstances lend themselves, I feel, to making comedy feel really earned and funnier and weirder.

If you're someone who's making film or TV or music, or any kind of art form now, there's a billion outlets and they all have an opinion.

I like things that are immature and offbeat and bizarre. Random jokes. Weird stuff. And stupid. Stupid is the highest compliment a person can pay to me.

I do really like doing animated movies. I like watching animated movies, and I always have. That's something I didn't let go of, from when I was a kid. It's always exciting for me to get to do that. Animated movies are so rarely bad.

It's just cool to be involved in something that's that big and joyous and meant to make people feel happy.

It's cool to know that you're doing something that people of all ages can watch and enjoy, even though my bread and butter is a little dirtier. It's cool to just be involved in something that's that big and joyous and meant to make people feel happy.
