Why should every single character be an honor student who goes around helping others and never doing anything wrong? Is that like the rule or something?

I've seen a lot of pairs of guys that have been hanging out together way too long-until they're laughing all the time.

I went to a Catholic high school and it seemed like every time I drew something for a class project, it either got thrown away by the teacher or something.

When I worked in those offices, it was just irritating to me that somebody sat there and designed this place, never thinking that you would walk from here to there, and they didn't care. The one guy designs it, gives it to the other guy, he looks at it; no one thinks about all the people that gotta walk through it. So I think the best way to show those banal moments is to be just flat and wide.

One thing I always heard from the begining when I talked about this being a movie - was that the rule is that animated movies don't work unless they're Disney movies for kids. Unless they're family movies.

I probably drive casting people crazy because I'm not thinking about actors so much as real people.
