Comedy is all about the joke. Comedies usually don't do anything fancy with the camera [or] the lighting. It doesn't matter. It should never be fancy.

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.

That's kind of my ideal sequel - a movie that continues the story, takes one character and moves on, and moves forward with that character that survived with the first one.

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 always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an even bigger fan of the filmmaking craft.
