buildings donuts location los picked records tower
I want to start a Dunkin' Donuts in Los Angeles. I already have the perfect location picked out. It would be the old Tower Records buildings on Sunset.
hit stories
The things we always disengage with are one-sided stories or one-sided characters. They're very boring. When you feel like you're being hit over the head, you disengage.

When I got to college, as I was walking across campus one day, I ripped off a little flyer for this sketch-comedy group. It ended up being one of the greatest things I've ever done.
drawback exactly lead lined partner
The real drawback when you write with a partner is that where you want it to go and where they want it to go is similar, but not exactly lined up, and that's where it's going to lead you into trouble.

I think we all have a responsibility to tell good stories.
scariest situations
I think we all get into situations where we don't know how to proceed, and those are really the scariest moments that we have, but that's also what makes us 'grow up' and learn a lot about each other.

I think that whether you're married or not, in any relationship, there's always the terror that you're going to screw something up.

I went to Dave Eggers with this idea of doing a movie about a guy going through some sort of Frank Capra-esque journey.

My parents and my brothers and their wives are incredible and formed me as a person long before I got to Hollywood.

english spot taught
I taught English in Costa Rica before I went to college. I'm not an especially outdoorsy guy, but sometimes I would spot wildlife while whitewater rafting or walking in the rainforest at 5 A.M.
For me, there are worse things than being pigeonholed as the nice guy.
I got fired from being a lunch-shift bartender because I had a reading of a play.
