I have a healthy amount of humility.

There's no longer a monolithic evil empire somewhere, spreading a different philosophy of life. That doesn't exist.

I think that having comedy where people talk the way they really talk, when you talk with your friends and whatever, it's really, it's important. Or else you're making stuff that's a little bit watered down and irrelevant.

I love the unexpected and I think that's why documentary is an attractive genre to me because you don't know where it's going to go, so I tend to involve that as much as possible in the production process.

I discovered shooting and filmmaking around the time all of the software became affordable to anyone with a PC.

A favorite film of mine is 'Office Space' and I love 'The Hangover.' That is a really good comedy from character in that film, and that is true of 'Office Space' too.

I'm really interested in stories about identity - who I am now versus who I used to be.

There's a dangerous bottom-lining, and super-summarizing that happens in a lot of our press and our media, and sort of our politicians' talking points, that's dangerously simple. I don't know a better way to say it. And there's usually a lot more complicated facts going on than what is quoted and quotable.

I think politicians know how to misrepresent data in order to support a political agenda. Politicians and the people that work for them - I should say - are expert at that.

I like to approach comedy from character, to have the stakes for the individuals in the story be very high.

I'm a bit of a hacker fanatic and know a fair bit about that industry and cyber crime and cyber warfare.

When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.

The best movies are rooted in reality.

I think Melissa McCarthy is a force of nature. She's just incredible. And it's purely her talent that has rocketed her in such little time from a marvelous supporting role in Bridesmaids to being the lead in several films that are coming out this year. She's extraordinary.

We're all vulnerable, and it's all hackable. If someone wants you and has targeted you, you can be taken down, and that fact is really scary.

I feel like my own background in improv and doing documentaries makes me really comfortable with a situation where you're letting things unfold and you don't have to be a jerk, stomping his feet, trying to get his way on everything.
