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.

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.

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

I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing.

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

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 find I like to work with a lot of the same actors, because I find that there's sort of shorthand there, and there is this unspoken trust, both ways. They trust me and I trust them. And I know what I'm going to get from them, to an extent. It's just fun, kind of creating this little family.
