I'm not going to spend two years of my life on something that I'm not excited about.

You can't change who you are, so I think that the only thing you can do is just never talk to people about stuff and then hope that maybe does something.

A real litmus test for me is how people treat someone who is waiting on them. That's a dealbreaker for me.If I were on the verge of getting into a serious relationship and I saw that person be mean to a waiter... I'm out.

A lot of people go to the movies wanting the movie to be about feelings, and it's really not about that. Or rather it's about feelings in the abstract.

What's great about things like Kickstarter is that it enables me, finally, and without any bad feeling at all, when people come up to me now saying, "I want to do this." I can just go, "There are no excuses anymore."

My first three movies, I didn't start editing until we were finished shooting. That's unthinkable to me now.

In Full Frontal and K Street, I learned to take advantage of the mobility that digital provides.
