Alienation, I suppose, can't be hackneyed because it will always exist.
I will say what I aspire to is a consistency in making films, to direct something every couple of years.
Sometimes when I do a joke and it doesn't get a lot of laughs, it kind of feels like I'm doing jazz. That's kinda cool because jazz is cool, but sometimes jazz sucks ... Maybe I'm the Kenny G of comedy.
Awkwardness and feeling alienated are always going to be a part of comedy.
Essentially, retweets are like laughs.
I think sometimes you don't understand how to convey an idea, depending on the moment you're living in.
