Don't be a jerk. Try to love everyone. Give more than you take. And do it despite the fact that you only really like about seven out of 500 people.

I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.

When you're making your 20th movie, it might be the 20th most incredible thing that's ever happened to you!

I don't think it matters what the frequency is of me writing or directing a movie. It doesn't really matter to anybody else. I'm just trying to put good things out there.

Most people in the world of comedy at least are multi-hyphenates, so people who direct are also writers.

In the writing, I'm just trying to go deeper, emotionally, and learn more about myself and reveal more and find a way to connect with people in new ways.

I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog.
