I have a healthy amount of humility.

In film, you get to take your time and make it right. In TV, it's all about the schedule. The train is moving and you sometimes just don't have time to make things right, which is painful 'cause you know it could be done better and you just have no choice.

We're all vulnerable, and it's all hackable. If someone wants you and has targeted you, you can be taken down, and that fact is really scary.

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

When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.

I feel like my own background in improv and doing documentaries makes me really comfortable with a situation where you're letting things unfold and you don't have to be a jerk, stomping his feet, trying to get his way on everything.

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.
