I think romance is a tool, comedy is a tool and drama is a tool. I really just want to tell stories that challenge the viewer, move people, make you laugh, perhaps push an idea about being open-minded but never settle on a genre or an opinion. I hate genre. I like movies that are original in their approach.

Being pregnant changes you as a human being and it gives you a whole lot of mixed feelings.

I've always had an underdog perspective.

My writing voice is very much like 'Thank You for Smoking.' It's a guy's voice. It's very masculine.

And over the course of the last six years, as I've directed more features and commercials, I've become better at articulating exactly how I want the audience to feel.

I find nice people kind of boring.

Doesn't every generation feel like the one that's coming up behind them doesn't know how to grow up? I'm not sure if we're progressively getting worse or if your perspective shifts.
