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.

I discovered shooting and filmmaking around the time all of the software became affordable to anyone with a PC.

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.

The best movies are rooted in reality.

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.

Some of the best ideas come sort of out of nowhere and when you're not expecting it.
