“The world's a lot more complicated than it looks from the outside.”

“The good thing about a movie is that you can get out of it in 2 hours and go on with your life.”

“The best comedies have heart. You have to care about the characters.”

“What I learned is that we’re all the same. We want the same things: We want to love and be loved, we want a roof over our heads, we want to be safe.”

“I'm not a message guy. I don't have a message. I'm a storyteller.”

“Laughter is the great connector. It's the universal language.”

“It’s not about changing people’s minds; it’s about opening their hearts.”

“When you're doing a comedy, you want to be surrounded by people who are funnier than you.”

“I like movies that make you feel something. I don't care what it is, but I want to feel.”

“Directing is about creating an environment where people can do their best work.”
