To me, the script is a living, breathing organism. Comedy is something that is ever-changing and ever-flowing with the vibe and the mood of the movie.

There's a darkness under 'The Hangover' because ultimately there's a missing person and it's not really that funny. There's a sort of darkness under it that I love, and still people are laughing as hard if not harder than they did in 'Old School.'

I think that 'Hangover II' is as funny as 'The Hangover I,' honest to God, but I think that it's a little bit darker, and the stakes are a little bit higher.

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

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.

My dog's a gentleman.
