I Just Thinks It's Interesting What It

When I Was Younger I Was Obsessed With 'star 80,' And It's Just A Great Movie - I Think I Saw It Three Times In The Theater.

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.

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.

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.

To Me, The Script Is A Living, Breathing Organism. Comedy Is Something That Is Ever-changing And Ever-flowing With The Vibe And The Mood Of The Movie.
