Directors tend to be more underrated than overrated because it's a quiet job and people don't really understand it.

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 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.'

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

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.

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

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