I think, through comedy, sometimes we're allowed to discuss things that you'd never be able to talk about in a drama.

I want my audiences to be as open-minded as my characters.

I don't know why I'm drawn to anti-heroes, but I certainly am.

Comedy and horror are cousins; they're related. They both come from storytellers who want to specifically affect the audience and elicit specific reactions during the movie.

Look, any guy who tells you that he didn't have some fears is lying. Of course, it's scary becoming a dad for a variety of reasons. That's not to say it isn't thrilling. It was. It was very exciting and in some ways was the greatest thing that's happened in my life. But it's also completely terrifying and you're saying goodbye to a portion of your life and that's just an emotional experience.

It’s funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made! But even a quite good romantic comedy.

I remember when I was like 19 years old and I started a desk calendar company to pay for my first short film, just so I could say one day that my daddy didn't pay for my first short film. And I really established myself in the film festival world.
