I Really Got Into Filmmaking Through Photography.

Music Is Just One Of The Tools A Director Has With Which To Paint And I Think It's One Of The Most Effective.

What It Boils Down To Is That When You Say The Word Las Vegas It Means Something. You Could Say New York City And It Doesn't Really Mean Anything. When You Say A Word Like Bangkok, In My Mind It Means Something. There's Not A Lot Of Cities Where The World Literally Brings A Picture To Your Mind.

Comedy Is So Subjective. You Could Be In A Room With 400 People Laughing At A Joke And You Could Just Not Think It's Funny. You're Just Sitting There Like, 'am I In The Twilight Zone? Why Is Everyone Laughing?' It's Such A Personal Thing. People Have Such A Personal Visceral Response To Comedy.

When I Was In Nyu Film School I Drove A Taxi In New York For Two Years, I Felt Like I Owned My Own Business With That Little Taxi.

Well, It's So Cheesy To Say But You Can't Find A Comedy Director Who Makes Movies For Critics. When A Movie Does $580 Million Worldwide, I'm Not Saying That Proves Anything Except People Were Enjoying The Experience.
