I'm sure I've said some pretty bad pick-up lines.

I like shooting in New York because I have such a connection to the city. I have so many memories there.

I didn't train in directing; I talk to actors the way I talk to anybody.

Adaptations are fun for me because they connect to the idea of filmmaking I had when I was a kid. I would see a movie and think: 'I'm gonna make that movie.'

Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.

I really like my first movie a lot, "Kicking and Screaming." I think it's a - I'm very pleased and proud of that movie, but it wasn't the - it wasn't "Citizen Kane" right out of the box, you know? It wasn't "Sex, Lies and Videotape."

Friends of friends had bands in college or in their early 20s and had a moment where they had some kind of interest from a record label or manager. It's always interesting how people handle those decisions and those moments.
