I'm very curious in regards to "The Hateful Eight" specifically about the blocking of the movie. Because in comedies, we don't block. We basically like have to position the actors' bodies in the way that is most conducive to filming both of them simultaneously.
Sometimes what you lose in the time it takes to let an actor do something that you don't like as a director, you gain in not shutting them down creatively by telling them their idea sucks.
You can actually improvise a lot as a voice actor. It's not that entirely different than shooting a live action movie; the characters mouths are quite easy to manipulate once all the information is built into the computer. So you can improvise a lot and it doesn't matter really how far along they are in the process they can really just make the character say something different.
I didn't think I'd ever be an actor.
After every single take, I laugh. It's my own awkwardness and discomfort about being an actor.
I feel much more comfortable as a writer than an actor. I feel like I am a much better writer than I am an actor.
I've seen a lot of movies get made where no one has control. No one likes it.
People recognise me and come up to me sometimes, but I'm not like George Clooney.
You look at CG sometimes and its terrible. You look at CG sometimes and its great.
I first did standup at a lesbian bar. I didn't know it was a lesbian bar at the time, but the lesbians loved me. I was huge among the lesbians and am to this day. I'm thrilled with the lesbian support.
Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.
I'm proud to say that I've never had a normal job. I started doing stand-up when I was in high school, purely as a measure to never get a proper job.
To me all men are boy-men. I don't know any man that's actually mature.
My high school years were exactly like 'Superbad.'
