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.

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.

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

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.

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."
