It's a big thing to feel like you're doing something that's actually affecting people.

I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. I'm that guy who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you should read To Kill a Mockingbird.

Writing and directing just sort of fell into my lap.

You can't do anything to be funny. That's cringeworthy. If your humor comes out of a place of love every time, you don't make the joke bigger than you. The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level.

All the cliches are true about parenting. All I've ever wanted to do is be a father, but there's this existential mirror that's held up when you have a kid.

I don't want my kids to ever think that I am choosing my job over them.

We live in a very modern age and the dynamic of raising kids and being a professional are intersecting a lot more - especially for women.
