In the movies I've done for Sony, they've never given me quadrant specific notes ever. They say "Keep making it. Just make the movie you want to do." Especially in a comedy because comedy is so tone specific.

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

The sexual act - thinking about the sexual act, the telling about the sexual act, after the sexual act, is so much more important than the actual sexual act - just in time. It's like of the whole sexual act, you probably spend 95% of the time thinking about it, talking about it afterwards. The actually sexual act, especially when you're 17, is minutes.

I try not to read the Internet because it's mostly just a sea of hatred.

To me, the big difference is when you yell cut and then you have to walk over there and deliver a note, it gives it much more import as opposed to "Hey, try that." It's just much more intimate, I think.

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

You go through your career and you find people and cast who you love and you go through and keep them and you never want to let them go because you have a great repertory with them.
