dream song fun
There's a big song at the beginning [of Sausage Party], and that was really fun to do. It felt like we were living out a dream of being the South Park guys for a minute.
song fun party
After the song [for sausage Party] was finally done, we didn't have enough time, but we thought it would be fun. It also would've thrown it off a bit, because we really are doing more of an homage to Pixar, and if we filled it with songs, it would've felt more like Disney. And we had an experience, while we were making it, that going too Disney made it too weird.
people relevant remains theater
The theater remains relevant because of 3D. It makes it an event. You go there, 400 people put on their glasses, and it's just fun.
chart huge slice
In the pie chart of my brain growing up, there's a huge slice for 'Ghostbusters.'
good reads
I'm not an Internet person that reads behind-the-scenes stuff. I see a trailer, and if it looks good, then I go. That's that.

I was the - my trendsetting moment was my bar mitzvah had the first, like, temporary tattoo guy.

As a director, you can't stop a guy if he thinks something's hysterical, because if you do, then he'll get depressed because he thinks he didn't come up with a good joke. So if a guy's going on some run and it's killing him, and he thinks it's hilarious, you gotta do enough so that he thinks you can use it in the movie.
america canadians gonna hang tiny town
In America it's all, 'I'm gonna make something of myself, leave my tiny town and go to L.A!' Canadians are like, 'I'm gonna make something of myself, go to L.A., and then come right back again to hang out with my buddies!'
convert movies
I can't wait for them to convert old movies to 3D. I am 100% confident I want them to convert 'Terminator 2' to 3D more than I want anything in the world.
'Lincoln' was OK; I thought it was a rock-solid eight out of 10, but it shouldn't win all the awards.
hardcore nearly nerds
The hardcore fanbase of nerds that live on the Internet are not nearly as powerful as I thought they were. They really, really aren't. They also flip-flop like mad.
biggest kick until
I just want to keep going for broke, making bigger and bigger things like 'Lord of the Rings' until they kick me out of Hollywood. I just want to do the biggest thing I can.

I don't fully understand my wife's emotions - and I'm supposed to write an excellent female character and unravel the secret of women?
