I think if people want to see pure sex in the movie, they have the Internet and the extraordinary things are available.

I've always believed in populating my films with characters who we like, who we have some warmth for, who have warmth for each other, who we would like to hang out with, who we emulate in one way or another. It's not that they all get along, or that there aren't bad people or people we make fun of. But at the core, there's a kind of sweetness.

I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.

A good actor is someone who knows how to take the part and make it real and make it honest and be effective in it. If it's in a funny movie and, as long as they are cast in an appropriate way, humor will come from it.

I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.

My sense is, I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.

The home viewing experience is slightly different and there's room for these kinds of extra excursions.
