My movies before tend to be just funny. But it wasn't a conscious thing I was looking for at all.

When I was younger I was obsessed with 'Star 80,' and it's just a great movie - I think I saw it three times in the theater.

How many days do you have that are just purely dramatic? How many days do you have that are just purely comedic? It's usually a combination and I think that's what real life feels like.

I think comedy directors tend to feel a need to justify the bad behavior, and I just never think that. I like bad behavior, I've always liked bad behavior, I'm a fan of bad behavior, and I don't think you have to justify bad behavior.

I just thinks it's interesting what it takes an actor to find their characters through the wardrobe, or the hair, or the way a character walks.

Well, it's so cheesy to say but you can't find a comedy director who makes movies for critics. When a movie does $580 million worldwide, I'm not saying that proves anything except people were enjoying the experience.

All my movies, as I get the ability to do it, they tend to go a little darker, a little darker.
