Everyone I know who is having success in film right now is there because of persistence.

Most people in Hollywood are making about 10 percent of all the things they're considering; I am making 95 percent.

Breakups usually don't happen down by the river with beautiful lighting. The moment you realize your relationship may be over might happen in Aisle 11 of Rite-Aid and the person you're with has disregarded your feelings and your needs by bringing you the wrong toothbrush again for the fourth time.

I loved movies. They inspired me more than anything growing up and wanted to do for others what those movies have done for me. I do a lot of other creative stuff but am not very good at it.

I guess I need a hobby. Currently my primary hobby is complaining.

We don't work in the traditional TV format where we're like writing concurrently to shooting. Like, we really view it as a large feature film.

It's just that the nature of being a director is being incredibly overwhelmed with getting the shots right, dealing with the locations, and then there's a two-year-old in the scene, and all that stuff - you know, there's a lot of kids in scenes.
