Professionally, I feel like I won the lottery and I am the luckiest person in the entire world.

I love it, man; I'm 23 years old and I'm lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can't believe it's happening.

New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'

One of the greatest moments of my career was on the road promoting 'Superbad' with Michael Cera and Chris Mintz-Plasse. We were showing the movie at colleges.

Maybe if you play somebody in a certain world people sometimes misinterpret that it's a support of that world or that occupation or something.

My heroes are Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman. Those are the two actors that both do comedies and dramas, seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're all just great actors, neither comedic nor dramatic. They're just great actors.

It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; I'm no longer the underdog in that world.
