I never read a self-help book except for the Bible.
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.
(The disaster) definitely freaked me out. (I was) just thinking, 'We're right here, close to the ocean. Man, 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.
Just as long as something is gained, a lesson is learned. I do like those. The more quiet victories are always great.
It was just the adventure of creating this thing that we had hopes and dreams about. When we made 'Napoleon,' it was just that feeling of what was going to happen.
