I feel comfortable with women. I have two sisters, so I grew up in a female-dominated environment.

There's that great Bill Hicks line - the comedian - where he says, "Are you proud to be an American?" "I don't know. It's just where my parents had sex."

We're like a gardener with a hose and our attention is water - we can water flowers or we can water weeds.

All of the things I used to obsess over, I'm no longer as obsessed with. I have new concerns but they're a little more existential or cosmic.

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

There are just things you can explore in a movie that you can't in 22 minutes with a laugh track.

In writing scripts now, having made a film, I'm much more conscious of what it means to shoot and edit a movie, and that affects the writing.
