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

I have really good female friends. I've never bought the whole men-and-women-can't-be-friends thing. I think that's sort of nonsense.

We are so vocal about what we hate.

One thing I'm most proud of, in my movies, is that I think the performances are super-strong, but that's not all me. I think part of it is casting appropriately.

I learned to choose my battles. Sometimes I let my producer deal with something that I didn't want to deal with.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.

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