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

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

I like to deconstruct things, deconstruct genres and stories.

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.

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."

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