Everybody needs some good sketch comedy.

If you surround me with darkness, suddenly, I am "somewhat fun."

Being comedic is a skill, because there is a fine line where the context is important. And being dramatic is just being honest and real in that moment.

The worst thing is to read bad reviews and go, "Yeah, I agree."

You can't guarantee that you'll make a great movie, but you can make a greater effort than I made at trying to see that the basics are there.

I learn things in a backward way. I learn all those limitations, and slowly my brain soaks them up, and if things go right, you just, in an organic way, translate your ideas into those templates. That's the way I perceive the process happening.

I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.
