The ability to workshop in stand-up comedy is incomparable to any art form, in my opinion.

I love pizza so much, I would marry pizza, but it would just be an elaborate ploy to eat her whole family at the reception.

I wrote on my desk wall when I was writing the film...'Art is socialism, but life is capitalism.' That's the hard thing in all of it if you expect to make a living.

Our fear leads us to say no all the time.

When you're in a relationship with someone who's selfish, what keeps you in it is the fact that when they shine on you, it's this souped-up shine. And you feel like you're in the club. And you don't even know what club it is. You just know you want to stay in it.

The key is to do what you love.

I will say what I aspire to is a consistency in making films, to direct something every couple of years.
