Every Director Should Take An Acting Class.

I'm The Biggest Proponent Of Test Screenings Now. There's Two Ways To Face Test Screenings. For Dramas, I Don't Know If I Would Rely On Them As Much, Although I Still Think You Need Them, Because You're Making A Movie For An Audience At The End Of The Day. But With Comedy... You Could Go Through A Script Or Anything I Ever Worked On, Where You Go, "this Is Hilarious," And You Put It In Front Of People And You Get Nothing. And Then The Other Side Of It, Is Something You're Like, "i Think This Is Really Stupid," And It Gets A Giant Laugh.

The Dueling Maturity Levels In High School Is Such A Source Of Comedy To Me. I Was Always Such A Late Developer. I Was Last To Walk. I Was Last To Ride A Bike. I Was Last To Have Sex. That's Why It's Fun To Portray One Side Of Your Childhood Onscreen.

I'm Just An Enormous British Comedy Fan.

What's Great About The Geek Spirit Is That Life Never Seems To Stop Us, And They Never Seem To Kill Our Enthusiasm, Our Optimism And Our Hunger To Experience The World. We Keep Our Sense Of Humor, We Protect Our Dignity, We Talk To Our Friends About The Experience And Then We Start Again Fresh The Very Next Day.

I Always Hated High-school Shows And High-school Movies, Because They Were Always About The Cool Kids. It Was Always About Dating And Sex, And All The Popular Kids, And The Good-looking Kids. And The Nerds Were Super-nerdy Cartoons, With Tape On Their Glasses. I Never Saw 'my People' Portrayed Accurately.
