I mean, it really has a lot to do with who is actually physically doing a lot of talking. And we've just noticed that as we've evolved we're still making all the decisions from this, like, cave.

More quotes by Mark Duplass
We work in this cave, and we speak to each other sort of subconsciously and with like, weird cues and tangential brother speak, but it really comes down to if you are the person who is moving amongst the actors and talking to people more, the other one can have a little more time to really watch.

I'll do any kind of movie, as long as it's a good version of it.
Mark Duplass
Going to the theater, spending tons of money, people are losing money doing that. I'm really interested in my kinds of movies being seen as many people as possible on a TV.
Mark Duplass
I'm a narrative-minded actor. I'm thinking of the story. I'm not worried about whether the camera is on the right side of my face, or where the camera is. I'm just going for the story.
Mark Duplass
I really believe in constantly trying to find and support new ways of watching independent art, because the old ways are not working as well.
Mark Duplass
If we have anything to offer, as filmmakers and as TV makers now, it's this ability to feel as close to a documentary as you can get in a narrative form.
Mark Duplass
Obviously we know Bill Hader is funny and charming, but my question is, can he do raw humanity and naturalism? I think so.
Mark Duplass
When you're writing a 25-minute episode that can be anything, sometimes you just start with a character, and you let them walk into the room. Then you let your instinct guide you. That's how we made art when we were 15 years old. And that's so fun to us.
Mark Duplass
I am not afraid to admit, though slightly ashamed that I Google myself and I see people writing things about me and I get really proud and happy.
Mark Duplass
A TV show is an open universe, whereas a film is more of a closed universe. No disrespect to movies, there's just a lot of artifice in closing out emotional storylines after 90 minutes.
Mark Duplass
When you're improvising, it's fun to find something that you can lean on that is similar to your life experience. In my opinion, that's very helpful.
Mark Duplass
My wife and I have been together for many years and that, to me, is like endlessly fascinating and endlessly confusing how to sustain all of the excitement from the front of our relationship, valuing that versus the comfort and knowing that she knows all of my flaws and still loves me. It's great, but certainly not as exciting as it was day one.
Mark Duplass
I have family, I work with a lot of friends, but you'll never find me saying, Hey, let's get a drink at 8:30 [pm].
Mark Duplass
I'm pretty unfussy when it comes to what a TV show should be, or what a movie should be. A lot of people are trying to maintain the theatrical experience for films. That's not really who we are or what we're about. We come from this fundamental understanding that we're just blessed that someone is giving us any money to make something in this town.
Mark Duplass
We always joke now like, you know, the more experienced we get making stuff, we're like, Never leave set without a shot of each of our lead characters driving in the car looking happy, looking moderately blank and looking sad. Because we know we're going to need these things.
Mark Duplass
You know, I watched the original 'Same Time, Next Year' on DVD about ten times this year, and I cried all ten times.
Mark Duplass
A lot of it is found in the editing room and part of that is due to some of the improvisational tactics we employ on set. Part of it is that the shot goes a little bit long and they end up coming down to fit time.
Mark Duplass
My favorite thing to do is put my headphones on and cruise around the old neighborhoods.

Jay [Duplass] and I normally just sit around and people watch, and we talk about things that are happening in our lives, or with people that we've met. That's the soup from which our movies usually come from.
Mark Duplass
I know, we can barely fit them in. That is a big challenge. Treating four lead characters equally, within a 30-minute format, is definitely challenging.
