I do not quote my own movies. I think I would be pretty insufferable if I did.

That's also why comedy and horror are my two favorite genres of film to write, because you get these outbursts of emotion from people, laughter and shock, and it's really thrilling, and I like to be thrilled.

I just want to be able to keep my house and pay for my son's school tuition in Los Angeles.

He is the cheese to my macaroni.

I grew up in the Midwest; you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility.

I've never even seen a great set fight or a great set meltdown. I seem to always be on these incredibly relaxed sets.

The stuff I write isn't strictly autobiographical, but it's personal, if that makes any sense. It draws all these little incidents and people out of my life and then contorts them.
