It seems like magic is something kids start really young.

I think we all have a love/hate relationship with the media.

I think people like Lena Dunham really opened up the door to what was possible, and they've inspired young women to go into filmmaking and writing and directing and acting in a way that maybe they didn't before, because now there is a path and there are jobs.

Some people are probably saner. They're good performers, and they go about their day. I just get obsessive about it.

You know, I'm a big comedy fan.

You want the audience to get your movie, and you want the audience to like it. It's as simple as that. If they don't understand what you're trying to say, you've failed. Of course, you can't get 100 percent of the crowd to understand the movie, but you know when you've reached the people you want to reach.

You have to write a lot of scripts to get any scripts that are worth making.
