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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I have a healthy amount of humility.
