Basically, we [me and Evan Goldberg] started thinking about making a movie that was kind of a weed movie and action movie and had a real kind of friendship story to it, then that would be our favorite movie [Pineapple Express] ever.

We originally actually wrote Franco's part [in the Pineapple Express] for me and the part I ultimately played just for someone else in general. Then when we got Franco involved we thought it was a good idea to switch the roles. I think it worked really well.

To me, what separates a funny movie from a good movie is something personal.

Most people I work with are older than me and the main thing I've learnt is that everyone is a dumb as an 18-year-old.

I'm the person who writes most of my movies so every role is exactly what I want to be doing.

I hadn't really done a comedy other than The Ape since Freaks and Geeks.

We kind of have some ideas for sequels. The movie [Sausage Party] ends in a way that implies a next chapter.
