When I Was In Nyu Film School

You Know, Because You Outline A Movie, It Kinda Comes At The Same Time. I Mean, There Are Days When You Are Just Concentrating On 'ok, Let's Worry About Just Comedy Today,' And There Are Days When You're Like 'you Know What, We Gotta Just Beef Up The Story.'. But, It's Not Like Process Wise It's That Technically Separate. One Informs The Other, So They Kinda All Happen Together Ideally.

I Was Raised By My Mom. She Taught Me How To Be A Gentleman; Nobody In The Movies Taught Me. I Think People Are Raised By Their Parents. If You're Raised By Movies, It's A Whole Other Set Of Problems. I Don't Think It's As Simple As Me Saying Movies Are Meant To Entertain, But I Certainly Don't Feel Moral Responsibility In Putting This Out In The World And Being Like, "ok, This Is Going To Affect How Guys Make Decisions Because They See Some Of My Films Or Whatever." I Just Don't.

I Remember That When I Got To Nyu, Everyone Was Writing Scripts. But I Was 18 At The Time, And When You Write A Script, So Much Of It Is About What You Pull From Life, And This Sounds Sort Of Cheesy, But I Felt Like I Didn't Have Enough Life Experience At That Point To Write A Movie.

There's A Darkness Under 'the Hangover' Because Ultimately There's A Missing Person And It's Not Really That Funny. There's A Sort Of Darkness Under It That I Love, And Still People Are Laughing As Hard If Not Harder Than They Did In 'old School.'
