I never go to the monitor. I just look at the camera monitor and my favorite part of all of the directing, except for the writing and editing of it, is right when we're rolling and they do lines and I'll say "Try this, try this, try this."

I don't like having characters as props. I never want a character to be a prop.

I don't think anyone says "Wow, the best sex I ever had was when I was 16 years old."

When you people have a set up joke and the joke is set up straight and the words are just well written, I always say "C'mon, humans don't speak that way."

When you have a movie about people landing from planet Neptune, you suspend disbelief. I totally get it. But I like doing things that happen in real life.

I like doing character movies. I like doing movies about personal situations; that's what I love about dealing with things.

People in movies and TV seem to be completely dumb to what's going on in the real world and relationships.
