I like to deconstruct things, deconstruct genres and stories.

genre stories

When I did TV shows and my other movies, I never try to do it for anybody. I just do what I think is good no matter what the genre is.

I don't think anyone says "Wow, the best sex I ever had was when I was 16 years old."

The sexual act - thinking about the sexual act, the telling about the sexual act, after the sexual act, is so much more important than the actual sexual act - just in time. It's like of the whole sexual act, you probably spend 95% of the time thinking about it, talking about it afterwards. The actually sexual act, especially when you're 17, is minutes.

I never go to the monitor. I just look at the camera monitor and my favorite part of all of the directing, except for the writing and editing of it, is right when we're rolling and they do lines and I'll say "Try this, try this, try this."

You go through your career and you find people and cast who you love and you go through and keep them and you never want to let them go because you have a great repertory with them.

There are not that many roles in comedies that are completely driven by a young actress.

In the movies I've done for Sony, they've never given me quadrant specific notes ever. They say "Keep making it. Just make the movie you want to do." Especially in a comedy because comedy is so tone specific.

To me, the big difference is when you yell cut and then you have to walk over there and deliver a note, it gives it much more import as opposed to "Hey, try that." It's just much more intimate, I think.
