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

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.

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 to deconstruct things, deconstruct genres and stories.

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.
