thinking people done
The little details really connect for people in ways I never realized before.I think that's why some of the movies have done well, because people are relating to things that I'm willing to expose.
people realizing
I've come to realize that people connect more when they know you're telling them the truth or some aspect of your story, some mutated version of how you are experiencing this life.
people obsessive
Some people are probably saner. They're good performers, and they go about their day. I just get obsessive about it.
school kids insecure
I think watching too much TV as a kid led me to being very uncomfortable in new situations. To this day, when I drop my kids off at school, I still feel like I'm in 9th grade and I'm uncomfortable and insecure. Like anyone is paying any attention.
night thinking childhood
I used to watch 10 hours of television a night, my entire childhood. And I don't think it did all good things to me. I certainly still have social problems that are a result of being in my room alone too much.
jobs phones worry
I feel like everybody's waiting for a job y'know, you can make a movie on your phone. And so there really is no reason to worry about how to get in with people- and you can do that, there's a lot to learn working for people -but you can just make a movie, where in the old days that was completely impossible.
nerd feels stills
I still feel like a nerd.
hate thinking love-hate
I think we all have a love/hate relationship with the media.
people admire predecessors
I always see other people as predecessors and admire them.
running thinking cities
I think a lot of studios today are run by women, and we are entering a time when a lot of women have evolved in Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade and wanted to become writers and comedians.
film-critics people magazines
I love magazines and film critics, so I eat it up. I'm not one of those people who says 'I never read anything.' I generally read all of it.
kids appreciate people
I always felt as a kid that I was underappreciated, invisible or weird, but I've always secretly thought people would one day appreciate what is different about me. I'm always putting that message out there.
thinking trying retreat
I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.
character people care
People like the comedy more when they care about the characters.
