I very rarely made any move to direct anything. I didn't have any faith in myself.

I'm always surprised when you do something very different that people don't get behind you more, because you're always told, "Take chances! Stretch!" And when you do it, sometimes people get really supportive and excited, but sometimes people go at you because you've tossed out the formula.

I have to make good things so good comedians want to talk to me.

Nobody's going to like my next movie because they liked Trainwreck [2015]. It has to work on its own, and that keeps it really scary.

It's what I always dreamed of: that you can make TV and everyone would get out of your way and you follow your vision without watering it down.

Sometimes, something seems dead, and then out of the blue, someone just figures out the way to fix a script and it goes.

I get literally a physical sensation of low self-esteem that is a result of not engaging the world and getting comfortable that way.
