I'm inspired when I find out about something that I didn't know was a remake.

You don't see a wonderful shot in a comedy. Why? Because they don't want to distract you from what matters, which is the joke. It has to be funny, so usually all the things in the background don't matter.

I think the more honest you are with the storytelling, the better it works.

Only really good comedies and really good horror movies get a verbal response out of the audience. People will scream. People will laugh.

I take things from everywhere, and I still haven't figured out where I took [some things] from.

Most filmmakers go out with the first feature and nobody cares.

I think violence in movies, for it to work, you have to use it smartly. People get numb very fast. If you have too much violence in the beginning, it gets to a point where you don't feel it.
