Everyone has the attitude that movies aren't just disposable entertainment - they can really mean something. I love that, because that's the way I feel about films.

I think any time you set out to make something, anybody is going to be confronted by those voices in their head that say "You don't need to do this. Someone else can do this better. You should probably just quit right now."

When I was a teenager I loved acting, but I really just loved it for myself. I didn't like the fact that anyone else saw the work I was doing

We can be anybody we wanna be.

I didn't really like doing commercials.

There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.

As soon as you are trying to be funny or dramatic, that's when things start feeling fake and boring.
