I have a healthy amount of humility.

There's no longer a monolithic evil empire somewhere, spreading a different philosophy of life. That doesn't exist.

A favorite film of mine is 'Office Space' and I love 'The Hangover.' That is a really good comedy from character in that film, and that is true of 'Office Space' too.

I think politicians know how to misrepresent data in order to support a political agenda. Politicians and the people that work for them - I should say - are expert at that.

I'm really interested in stories about identity - who I am now versus who I used to be.

I like to approach comedy from character, to have the stakes for the individuals in the story be very high.

My folks are economists and have taught economics and social science so I grew up with those kind of conversations around the dinner table.
