People are like, "Why are you all dressed up? Did you dress up just for me?" I'm like "No, I dressed up because I'm an adult and I felt like putting on my suit." But I love it. Tom Ford and Ralph Lauren are my two heroes of clothing designers.

What you want is the thing that critics love and audiences love, but that's the hardest thing to do.

When I went to high school, in the late 1970s, disco was in full swing and anyone who was into it dressed the part. I know I did.

I'm glad I took the leap away from acting into going behind the camera because it's much more satisfying - I love acting and I still do, but it's much more satisfying to be able to make the stuff.

Forty is the line of demarcation that says you're an adult now. You're an adult, so don't pretend you're a kid anymore.

Scripts are a house of cards and you can't just reach in the middle and pull out the middle card because the house of cards will fall down. But at a certain point you almost have to allow that house of cards to get knocked down a few times because you need to make it sturdier. How many times do you hear, "No, that doesn't make sense," or "Why would this happen?" That was a mistake. You shouldn't have those moments, because the moment you're knocked out of the story, then you're dead. And all you can go is moment to moment,or joke to joke. And that's gonna wear people out.

The reason most comedies don't win awards is that the filmmakers put the comedy first. This means you have to create a story around the jokes.
