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

I like to deconstruct things, deconstruct genres and stories.

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

When I did TV shows and my other movies, I never try to do it for anybody. I just do what I think is good no matter what the genre is.

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 put so much pop culture in my movies because we speak about pop culture all the time. But, for some reason, movies exist in a world where there's no pop culture.
