I think I've always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.

I'm interested in the way major events don't necessarily announce themselves as major events. They're often little things - the drip, drip of life that changes people or affects people.

A lot of black-and-white films generally have a color version that will be used for TV.

It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.

You can be aware that something is idiosyncratic, and give it to a character, but keep doing it.

I suppose some studio executive would say it's death for a comedy if people aren't all laughing in the same places, but I find with my movies that people laugh in very different places. I can't control it.

When I was a kid, I would fantasize about my own funeral.
