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.

I just love the look of film. But I have nothing against HD.

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

I got nominated for an Academy Award(R) for writing 'Borat.'

I really got into filmmaking through photography.

I take it very seriously, music. I think it's one of the tools that a director has with which to kind of paint. The right music can sometimes do five pages of scripted dialogue.

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