I'm a huge proponent of therapy and analysis, but it's something that, in a nonprofessional way, can be abused.

Will Ferrell's made a lot of brilliant movies.

If you don't feel good about something, you don't shake it off easily.

I watch movies all the time, so it's hard to pick certain specific directors that have inspired me in the aggregate.

I always viewed life as material for a movie.

The real achievement of Woody Allen was that he was making movies that felt very personal, and for a whole group of people, it spoke to them. Then he became an archetype, like Groucho Marx or Chaplin.

I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.
