For Years, It's Driven Me Crazy That

I Always Hated High-school Shows And High-school Movies, Because They Were Always About The Cool Kids. It Was Always About Dating And Sex, And All The Popular Kids, And The Good-looking Kids. And The Nerds Were Super-nerdy Cartoons, With Tape On Their Glasses. I Never Saw 'my People' Portrayed Accurately.

To Me, There's Nothing Funnier Than Funny People In Peril, Because It's Just A Great Springboard For People To Be At A Heightened Emotionality And Things Get Funnier.

What I Do As A Director Is Really Create A Safe Environment That Everyone Can Feel Very Comfortable In And Experiment Within So That They Don't Hold Back Anything. You Never Ever Want Someone To Go, 'oh I Shouldn't Have Done That.' There Isn't Anything You Shouldn't Try. If It's Terrible, Who Cares?

With A Suit, Even If You're Having A Nervous Breakdown, You Still Look Like You're In Charge.

It's Healthy To Have Older Friends. You Go, 'look, I'm Younger Than Them!' That's Always The Nice Thing, If You Can Be The Youngest One In The Room At Times. Like If You're Always The Oldest One In The Room, You'll Start To Feel Like The Oldest Person In The World. So Get Older Friends, Because They're Cool. Get Cool Older Friends.
