There's such an awkwardness to most heterosexual male relationships. You see women who are friends, and they kiss each other good-bye, and they're just so much warmer with each other. But there's this thing with guys where, even between best friends, there's a standoffishness.

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 people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.

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

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.

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.
