All techniques of comedy are valid and interesting to me.

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

I think serious situations actually make for the best kind of belly laughs. But theyre also the hardest to convert into comedy at the outset.

I have this habit of asking 'why do you want to do it?' and then interrupting them to say, 'here's why you want to do it.' Because it's in the 'yes...and' spirit [rule of improvisation].

Sometimes when my fans come up to me, they think it's going to be entertaining, like I'm going to tell jokes or do bits, and then instead of that I end up talking about really mundane things with my fans, and then they're kind of like, "This is boring. I want to go talk to somebody else." I think I bore my fans to death by over-talking to them.

I like 'Donnie Darko;' it's a cool take on dreams and sleep.

I didn't realize how good I was with computers until I met my parents.
