I think so much of the look, obviously including wardrobe, but the hair is a huge thing because it's basically the frame for your eyes and that's the window to your soul is what they say.
I love movin'. I was observant growing up, watching Michael Jackson and John Travolta. I'd close my eyes, see the moves.
I don't have a lot of experience to draw from. I had my first kiss when I was 17 or 18. The second time we kissed I got a little excited and I was wearing these really loose shorts that didn't leave much to the imagination. I tried to angle my body away and divert her eyes by saying, "Hey, look at the stars." From then on I wore tighter jeans.
The disaster definitely freaked me out. I was just thinking, 'We're right here, close to the ocean. Stuff could happen here any day.' And it really did open my eyes on how lucky and blessed I am, and how much I do want to help those people.

We created Kip and Napoleon from ourselves and from people we knew and experiences we had. It was fun to celebrate the nerd within me.
People usually don't know what we're here to do. They think we're going to be in costume or something.
We just hoped that someone would get it, would like what we could do.
When I was young, I told my sister that she had chunky thighs. She slapped me and I cried. She feels bad about it to this day, but I feel worse.
What we did in our childhoods makes us who we are now.
That's what protagonists do. They work hard, they have a conflict, they overcome the obstacles.
There isn't a sequel in the works. I didn't say there couldn't be one, I just said one isn't in the works.
Normally I avoid movies where the aliens look like humans. It's cheesy.
I think we have a unique voice we really want to get out there.
