I hope, my career is never predictable. And my interests are diverse in that way. I feel very lucky that when I'm burnt out of acting I take to the pen and I write something I want to direct. And then when I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig. And I've made it very clear that I'm interested in voiceover work. I mean, I'm always looking for voiceover gigs. I love that.

I wrote an entire movie [Man up] about how important I think voices are, so it was funny.

There are a lot of funny people and a lot of unfunny people. Some of them are women and some of them are dudes.

I'll be totally honest in that I feel tremendously lucky that I am offered incredible jobs all the time to direct, but the problem that I have just personally is that there are only so many years in my life to dedicate to certain projects. When you're directing something that's generally two years of your life, you have to understand that. If I'm going to pour that kind of love and energy and sweat and heartache, all that juju into something, I'm going to lean into my own projects before someone else's.

I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .

What's the trick to writing a genuinely funny comedy? The trick is therapy. Take notes.

I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.
