I'm More Of A Science Head, So

Ever Since I Was A Little Kid, I've Felt Comfortable In A Suit. It All Started When My Mom Bought Me A Three-piece Pierre Cardin Suit. I Wore That Thing Everywhere. Eventually I Realized I Was Going To Be The Kid Who Got Beat Up In School, But I Kept Wearing It.

What You Never Want To Do Is Have A Story That Doesn't Track Emotionally, Because Then You're Going Joke To Joke And You're Going To Fatigue The Audience. The Only Thing That's Going To String Them To The Next Joke Is How Successful The Previous Joke Is.

I Think Things Go Wrong When There's Not A Very Specific Plan And Specific Emotional Roadmap. You Need To Know What A Scene Needs To Get Across, And What Story Point That Needs To Be Advanced, Whether It's Discovering Someone For The First Time Or Whether It's Seeing A Relationship Get Strained. 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.

My Style Of Comedy Is Very Real And Bittersweet, And Sort Of Always On The Verge Of Kind Of Being Tragic.

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.
