The vast majority of all consequences, especially in 21st century America, are completely meaningless bullshit.

One big lesson I learned from movie [making] was I don't do creative projects that I headline unless I have all the control. I can't deal with having to live with other people's screw ups, and that's just sort of the way the movie business works. The people with the money are in charge. Until I'm in charge, I don't want to play that game.

I'm not West Coast at all. I was born in Atlanta, but I grew up in Kentucky, outside of Lexington, in Winchester.

I started writing because it was about making my friends laugh, and when you're talking to your friends, you can't bullshit.

Listen to authority figures because of their position, but only believe them if they can explain why.

Most of my success, I feel, comes from being a good editor as opposed to a great writer.
