I think storytelling is all about children. We human beings love to hear stories being told - and it first happens when you're a kid.

When I was a kid, I used to watch 'Laurel and Hardy' with my cousins all the time. I still think they're extremely funny and so surreal.

I would imagine that the more time you spend talking to another person, the more you're going to lie to them. So if you spend a lot of time with your relations, you're probably lying a lot to them.

There's something very dreamlike about film, and I will always be very fascinated by that, and I'm always tempted to go in that direction.

Television is a prisoner of dialogue and steady-cam. People walk down a hall, and the camera follows them around a corner.

I really like comedy. There's always a choice, when you're writing: you can either go for the joke or you can go for the story, the important stuff.

Hitchcock was one of the few people in Hollywood who had a brand. Every movie he made was an Alfred Hitchcock movie, couldn't have been anyone else.
