I tend to find comedy in dark places. I also tend to find comedy in taking on the status quo - which has always been something I find important.

Whenever I do something I tend to focus on it and spend all of my time and energy on it.

It's hard to have any moral authority over a group of drunken college students when you have never had a beer and never been laid.

I've always got a whole bunch of things in the works. That's sort of the nature of the business. Even when you're doing something you love doing, you have to be plotting and scheming and writing and preparing for what you're going to do when that's finished.

I think I always enjoyed the energy of a crowd, of being onstage. It started when I was even younger doing public speaking at school and just kept going from there.

I always try to approach things from the point of authenticity. I've done that for my short films, working with non-actors from the real environments where you go exploring and placing them into the cast alongside professional actors.

It's such a huge endeavor putting a full movie together, especially an independent movie. I tend to kind of do them when they come my way more than something than I go out and actively pursue.
