It's not easy to tell a story about writers and make that feel like a complete story and an interesting story.

I'm happy to report that everybody whose face I've wanted to punch on Earth has already been punched.

We all have to lead double lives, not just celebrities. The face we put on publicly with our jobs and certain situations. I think that's part of the human condition.

Part of filmmaking is always a guessing game, and part of it is always a game of trust.

I don't consider a lot of actors that I really admire movie stars.

'Little Miss Sunshine' was one of those small movies that you don't hold out huge hope for. It's usually found in small pockets. But, it ended up getting a real following and worked out pretty well.

I'm very leery of show business, having been in Los Angeles for the last 10 years. Buzz is a dangerous thing that I've heard applied to a lot of people that I've since not heard of again.
