It's the way that I think about the world, and the way that I like to tell stories - I don't think you should get too heavy. There's enough out there, in the world, with violence. I think that comedy lightens the heaviness [of the world].

It doesn't feel like you're preaching, if you can say something in a joke.

I realize that I am never going to grow up.

It's like two years straight out of your life doing a film. It's very enjoyable, especially working with the guys, but I kind of like the idea of traveling and growing, and developing as a writer and as a filmmaker.

I never feel like a smug or a smart-alec film director, and there are plenty of those around.

I never really tell anyone what I'm writing beforehand because I usually don't know what it will be.

I pick and choose what I want to do at any given time, and what not to do, importantly. My agents, I won't hear about any offers or options.
