College is the reward for surviving high school. Most people have great fun stories from college and nightmare stories from high school.

I feel like Superbad and Freaks And Geeks are somewhat timeless. That's always gratifying, when you feel like 30 years in the future, people will still get it, and it won't seem creaky. It won't come across like The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

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

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.

Just trying to tell the truth about, you know, the struggle of - being alive is funny, it's just inherently tragic and also hilarious - in a fun way and in a sad way. That seems to connect with people.

We are at this weird moment where there's an economic model that supports creativity. People are demanding something new and fresh.

I'm always talking to people. It's not that complicated. I just find somebody and say, "Do you have any ideas." If they do, we just start thinking things around.
