I don't mind talking about my dad because he's such a good dude.

I despise writing in general, but yeah, I love writing the stuff that I direct.

I don't read reviews, good or bad, just for my own sanity.

I'm sort of a delusional in the sense of, I was just gonna graduate from school and just, like, prance onto a film set and have a movie crew waiting for me to make my '8½' or something, which is completely insane.

I love my dad so much. I don't have that cool thing where I have dad issues.

I keep saying this, but the most important part of directing is casting, and the rest of it is pretty easy.

It seems like a really fun way to make a living, but I'm truly terrible at acting.

I've always been sort of influenced by my male relationships and that period of my life when you start to cringe and be like, 'I can't believe I wore this or that.'

I start with the music before I start writing the movie. It's such an important part for me, emotionally, to set up the tone for the movie.

Johnny Knoxville has such an incredible humanity to him when you meet him. He's so warm and so funny, and he can sort of get into trouble and you sort of forgive him immediately.
