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

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

Sometimes a story idea will come to me, and suddenly I've figured out the whole thing, and I feel like I'm collaborating with something other than myself.

I wanted to see how funny I could be without making the choice that every 10 minutes something big and visual had to happen.

I've come to realize that people connect more when they know you're telling them the truth or some aspect of your story, some mutated version of how you are experiencing this life.

I like to make movies the way people made movies in the '70s, where they lived and died with these stories, and cared about them, and went to war for them, and they all said something they wanted to say.

Every day I live by only one rule, be a good guy.
