I loved the idea that I could write a joke and someone else would have to take the risk of performing it.

If a woman says, I love myself; I love my body; I'm comfortable with my life, comfortable with my mistakes, and I deserve a seat at every table and everything should be completely equal, there are guys who lose their minds.

It's a pretty humiliating thing when you get picked last every day in gym class and then at lunchtime all the kids play sports and you get picked last. At the time I just thought, "This is awful," because it defines you as a weak person. It defines you with girls and if you're bad at sports, you get into this funny cycle where the ball never gets to you because now you're in the worst position, you're in deep right field, so you can never prove that you got better, so the cycle lasts forever.

People like everything to work out, and anytime you don't make everything work out perfectly, you really are fighting against what most people are going to the movies for, especially in the summer.

I'm making a movie about relationships, and I'm surrounded by guys scared of talking to girls.

It's a fun idea, to follow a couple very slowly and show every nook and cranny of their relationship.

My first writing jobs were writing Tom Arnold specials for HBO, so I love working there.
