I personally just love movies about the creative process.

I teach a lot - I teach at the UCLA and USC graduate film programs - and a lot of those projects are my students' projects that I act in or I do a cameo.

You just don't really rehearse kissing scenes, whether it's male or female.

I only work with people I trust and respect.

I think all great comedies - or at least the comedies I like - it has some of the funniest moments, but it never breaks the spell for the audience. It never pushes the audience away by spoofing itself too much or undermining the characters or making them cardboard or flimsy. Everybody is really trying to do what their characters believe in - and so nobody breaks the spell of the world, even though in other ways it's a comedy and very funny.

The number of women in power positions is a fraction of the number of men in such positions.

I actually don't smoke weed, but I've played a lot of stoners - especially with Seth Rogen.
