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.

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 have a healthy amount of humility.

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

The best movies are rooted in reality.

I think that having comedy where people talk the way they really talk, when you talk with your friends and whatever, it's really, it's important. Or else you're making stuff that's a little bit watered down and irrelevant.

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