I'm a bit of a hacker fanatic and know a fair bit about that industry and cyber crime and cyber warfare.

The best movies are rooted in reality.

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

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

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 think Melissa McCarthy is a force of nature. She's just incredible. And it's purely her talent that has rocketed her in such little time from a marvelous supporting role in "Bridesmaids" to being the lead in several films that are coming out this year. She's extraordinary.

There's a dangerous bottom-lining, and super-summarizing that happens in a lot of our press and our media, and sort of our politicians' talking points, that's dangerously simple. I don't know a better way to say it. And there's usually a lot more complicated facts going on than what is quoted and quotable.
