Your characters can do the worst things on Earth - cut to a happy baby, it ends up being OK.
There are so few good comedy sequels. The only one in recent memory that's good is '22 Jump Street.' It's a hard genre.
The worst thing you can do is animate something and then throw it out because it doesn't work story-wise.
The two times I had nervous breakdowns in my life were when I graduated from college and had my first kid.
R-rated comedies make as much money as PG-13. And I think the audiences wanna be shocked. Especially with comedy.
My family is really into politics.
It's really weird casting babies; it's kind of the dark underbelly of Hollywood, to meet babies and judge them.
I've thrown way more movie parties than real parties. My real life is so much more boring.
I've always had as many friends who are women as friends who are guys.
I think the best romantic comedies don't have villains.
I knew after 'Sarah Marshall' that my favorite genre is romantic comedy. Nothing is more satisfying than a great romantic comedy.
I am personally quite liberal.
As a moviegoer, I'm always annoyed when a big joke is ruined in the trailer, but generally, it actually makes it play better.
As a comedy writer, I'm always praying for the day I can tell a self-aware/break-the-fourth-wall style of joke.
All of the things I've directed, I'm really emotionally close to. That's why I choose to direct them and spend years on them.
