I Don't Make The Best Movies In

I Hadn't Really Done A Comedy Other Than The Ape Since Freaks And Geeks.

Like Toy Story, The Joke Is All About Exploring The Secret World Of These Various Everyday Objects.

We Really Wanted It To Be An Action Movie. Those Are The Movies That We Love. We're Big Fans Of Like Shane Black Movies, When We Were Younger - Me And Evan [goldberg].

Some Of My Friends Would Lie To Girls To Get Them, Or Do Things That - You Know, They Would Cheat On Girls. I Was Just Never In The Realm Of What, You Know, What's Instilled To Me, You Know? Yeah, I Mean, My Mom's A Social Worker, For God's Sakes.

It Was Amazing How Much Their [seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Shauna Robertson] Process Seemed Familiar To Me, Translating That Into The Work That I Had Done And Giving Actors A Lot Of Freedom And Doing A Lot Of Improvisation And A Total Respect And Collaboration With All The Department Heads And All The Crews, And Just Really Making It An Enjoyable Industry Rather Than Just Clocking In And Doing A Job Which A Lot Of Movies Are.
