cutting watches way
It becomes pretty crystal clear once you watch that first assembly [movie cut] the things that are just grinding it to a halt, so to speak, or slowing it down, or getting in the way, yeah.
wise mean worry
You know, because you outline a movie, it kinda comes at the same time. I mean, there are days when you are just concentrating on 'ok, let's worry about just comedy today,' and there are days when you're like 'you know what, we gotta just beef up the story.'. But, it's not like process wise it's that technically separate. One informs the other, so they kinda all happen together ideally.
mom real two
I grew up raised by my mom and my two sisters, so I never had a real male influence in my life. I never really understood heterosexual male relationships.
kissing bye guy
There's such an awkwardness to most heterosexual male relationships. You see women who are friends, and they kiss each other good-bye, and they're just so much warmer with each other. But there's this thing with guys where, even between best friends, there's a standoffishness.
reality landscape documentaries
Reality television hasn't killed documentaries, because there are so many great documentaries still being made, but it certainly has changed the landscape.
sometimes mayhem
To make a movie about mayhem, sometimes you have to go to mayhem.
guy
I love confidence in a guy. I don't have it, but there's nothing sexier.
hangover thinking guy
I make decisions to do movies based on the cast. I'd just been working with Zach [Galifianakis] on The Hangover, and I was thinking, I've got to find something to do with this guy immediately.
character thinking interesting
I just thinks it's interesting what it takes an actor to find their characters through the wardrobe, or the hair, or the way a character walks.
writing awards academy-awards
I got nominated for an Academy Award(R) for writing 'Borat.'
stars thinking saws
When I was younger I was obsessed with 'Star 80,' and it's just a great movie - I think I saw it three times in the theater.
school film taxi
When I was in NYU Film School I drove a taxi in New York for two years, I felt like I owned my own business with that little taxi.
people cheesy doe
Well, it's so cheesy to say but you can't find a comedy director who makes movies for critics. When a movie does $580 million worldwide, I'm not saying that proves anything except people were enjoying the experience.
thrill vicarious escapism
It's all about escapism. That's essentially what all movies are about. It's a vicarious thrill.
