I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.

It's all about escapism. That's essentially what all movies are about. It's a vicarious thrill.

I never had a ton of male friends and it's always been something that's really interesting to me, what brings guys together? The bonding. 'Old School' is a good example of that. And even 'Starsky' and even 'Road Trip.'

John Goodman's pretty dark - I love John Goodman.

You set the tone on the set that you want to see in the film.

You know, because you outline a movie, it kinda comes at the same time. I mean, there are days when you are just concentrating on 'ok, let's worry about just comedy today,' and there are days when you're like 'you know what, we gotta just beef up the story.'. But, it's not like process wise it's that technically separate. One informs the other, so they kinda all happen together ideally.

I don't have a horror film in me just because I don't like to be scared. But I definitely have a documentary in me, and I certainly have dramas.
