To me, it doesn't make any sense to pick your work based on the size of the budget of the movie.

When they're good, I like working with new actors.

From the first time I did a movie, people have said, 'Oh, it's all going to change now.' And it would change, but very incrementally. I think I prefer that to some big explosion of fame all of the sudden.

A lot of times, mainstream critics are much tougher on small, independent movies because they can be.

I like when people know exactly, have a good sense of themselves, and know exactly what's good for them, I admire that, but I don't have anywhere near that kind of perspective on my own.

Oftentimes, a funny situation is funny because it's uncomfortable or weird. The most memorable stories, or the stuff that you repeat to your friends, it's not like, "Oh, I had a pleasant day, nothing happened on the bus today." It's when strange things happen, when you become uncomfortable or knocked out of your own reality, those are the things that are interesting.

A lot of times, good improv is when both people, or however many people are in the scene, really have no idea what the next thing you're going to say is.
