It becomes pretty crystal clear once you watch that first assembly [movie cut] the things that are just grinding it to a halt, so to speak, or slowing it down, or getting in the way, yeah.

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.

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.

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

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

You're never nice to your friends. You're nice to people you don't like!

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