• "I think the great sketch shows, like 'Python' and 'Mr. Show,' they didn't stick around for very long. There's something kind of cool about that.“
• "My dad is a very quick-witted, sarcastic, dry, humorous guy, whereas my mom's very silly, and that side of the family is very musical.“
• "Most of my ideas just come out funny.“
• "Sometimes laughing isn't the best judge of what's funny, 'cause I think there's a lot of things that are really funny that don't make you laugh, that don't make you physically, audibly make a noise, but is something that is much more powerful than that.“
• "There is nothing funny about a well-adjusted, intelligent person making the right choices.“
• "I'm always in situations where you can't be funny, and yet I want to do it anyway.“
• "My dad is a very quick-witted, sarcastic, dry, humorous guy, whereas my mom's very silly, and that side of the family is very musical.“
• "A lot of movies aren't intended for everybody.“
• "I'll go to see movies, but I also love being at home on my couch and pausing every 10 minutes to pee.“
• "I want people to think about movies and how we watch them. Let them know it's okay to question the structure or how we're sometimes duped into a false sense of normalcy. Most of all, I want people to question the old standard practices of, 'This is how the structure of something should work,' or, 'This is how a character must behave.'“
• "On movies, you have a lot of stylists that get things too pretty. Everything gets steamed and ironed. It's just not the way we really behave.“
• "If you go to Sundance, the experience that I've had there as a viewer is... there's like a hundred movies there, and you've got to figure out what movies are sold out, what can you see. Sometimes you go to see movies that you don't know anything about because it just works into your schedule.“
• "There's a generation of people I think without a strong connection to family, to religion, to civic duty. They have a real disassociation from the problems of the world.“
