I feel like movies when they work they'll find an audience.

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

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

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

When I was in NYU Film School I drove a taxi in New York for two years, I felt like I owned my own business with that little taxi.

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 think reviewers have become particularly venomous because, in a way, the power has been sucked from them. A 15-year-old can write a review on the Internet and it means as much as Roger Ebert's review, and that just makes Roger Ebert mad, so he comes out harder and stronger.
