I Find Nice People Kind Of Boring.

I Hate Movies That Tell People What To Think. I'm Proud That Democrats Thought 'thank You For Smoking' Was Their Film And Republicans Thought It Was Theirs. I'm Proud That Pro-choice People Thought 'juno' Was Their Film And Pro-life People Thought It Was Theirs.

When I Look At 'napoleon Dynamite”s Style I'm Reminded Of How I Spoke When I Was An Eight-year-old Boy. It Was Just Like Capturing The Essence Of, 'duh!' It Was Just Like The Stuff That I Would Say When I Was Like Eight, Nine, Ten Years Old.

Well, Toronto, I Consider To Be The Birthplace Of My Films. I've Made Three Films And This Is The Third One To Premiere Here In The Same Theater On The Same Day At The Same Time - They Are My Audience. They're The People That I Think About While I'm Writing, Directing, And Editing. I Specifically Make Movies For Them.
