A large part of the reason I want to be so mysterious is so that I can move on and do something serious at some point in my career X years from now. It might be very difficult otherwise, because I'm... wild

I can sit in the room with the other writers and just keep saying no until there's something I really like or until I come up with something. In that respect the proportion of what's mine and what's other people's is controlled by me. It isn't even fair to talk about.

I was looking for a last name that was a first name. Growing up, I knew a kid who was the most obnoxious kid I ever knew, and his last name was Herman.

I just feel in a lot of ways black people are so much looser and cooler. Just as a culture, it's so much more real.

I'd love to work with Francis Ford Coppola. I met Coppola on an airplane.

I feel the only way I'm going to be successful in moving on is if I keep a separation.

There were just things in Disney movies that probably were too scary for kids.
