I Couldn't Be Happier To Not Be

The Awards World Can Be Ridiculous, But I'm Not One To Bash It. I Love Awards! When I've Been Nominated For Emmys And When I Won My Dga Award, I Couldn't Have Been Happier. I Always Liked Getting A Gold Star In Class.

So Many Of My Friends Have Always Been Women Growing Up... I Always Feel Slightly More Comfortable Around Women Because With Guys In General There's Always More Of A Danger Zone... It's Very Aggressive Sometimes The Way Guys Act With Each Other, Putting Each Other Down And Calling Each Other Names, So I Was Always Too Sensitive For That And Used To Hang Out With The Girls. And They Were Always Really Funny To Me.

We Didn't Used To Be So Precious About Women In Comedy Back In The Old Days.

Internationally And In Foreign Markets, Movies Starring Women Don't Make As Much Money As Movies Starring Men. And Then You Can Blame Filmmakers, Especially In Comedy, Which Is My Bread And Butter, Because It's Become A Bit Of A Boys' Club Over The Years. With The Boys In Charge You Get These Takes On Women Which Are Either The Girlfriend Or The Mean Wife Or The Girl Who Appears In A Romantic Comedy. You're Just Getting Either Men's Fantasies About Women Or What They Think Is The Reality About Women Instead Of Men Just Having A Healthy Attitude About Women.

The Director Is The Only Person On The Set Who Has Seen The Film. Your Job As A Director Is To Show Up Every Day And Know Where Everything Will Fit Into The Film.
