home
I'm a little older and I'm gonna do a bunch more movies and then they're gonna put me in a home for old directors.
creative firsts directors
If you're creative, they let you be the showrunner, producer. The first thing my partner and I did as producers was hire ourselves as directors - because who else would hire me?

There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it
strong-women brother happy-day
I grew up with two sisters, no brothers. There was Ronny who produced "Happy Days" for me and my sister Penny who acts, directs - she does everything. So they were very strong women in my life.
kids parent ears
You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid's ears. I figured I'd make one movie where they didn't have to do this
