I Think That Everything I Do Tends

I Didn't Want To Be A Director For Hire. It Really Just Took Me A Long Time To Learn How To Direct And To Feel Up To The Job.

I Start Casting Early In The Writing Process, So I Can Tailor The Script To The Gifts Of The Actors.

I'm Always Begging People Like James Brooks And Cameron Crowe To Come To Screenings, To See What They Make Of It, And They're Always Ridiculously Helpful. They Also Keep Me Brave Enough To Commit To What I'm Trying To Do. They Can Be Great Cheerleaders For Risk-taking.

I Don't Want To Be Ordinary. I'm Willing To Do The Work. I'm Willing To Suffer The Indignities Of Comedy Because I Want To Be Great. I Don't Want To Just Be Good. I Want To Be Great.

You Know, I'm A Big Comedy Fan.
