I think that's the key to being a director: to be able to get the shot and move on quickly.

We love the Stooges, and young kids today don't watch them. They think it's their dad's comedy. So we thought we could reintroduce them to a new audience.

Clint Eastwood. Here's a guy who's been involved in so many movies, lots of them masterpieces, and now he's a director. I just like everything I know about him. He's very decisive, he makes up his mind real quick.

In comedy, though, it's good to get feedback from the audience about what they find funny.

I feel reviewers are tougher on comedies in general. They don't take them seriously, and the ones that get great reviews are not necessarily the ones that I like.

In the world of comedy, having a partner is not the most unusual thing.

I just feel I'm on a different page from the reviewers, so I've learned not to care about them too much.
