All of the things I've directed, I'm really emotionally close to. That's why I choose to direct them and spend years on them.

I was born in England - though both of my parents are American - and there's something about the 'Muppets' where they have this combination of English and American humor.

I love the romantic comedy genre. It's a genre rich with many of the best movies ever made and I try to treat it with the respect that Shakespeare treated it with.

I think people try to jam a lot of artificial plot devices into a lot of romantic comedies, and they don't treat it with the respect I believe it deserves.

Everyone forgets that what's fun about a romantic comedy is how these two people are going to fight with each other and how's that going to be funny.

I like digital because you can shoot for longer.

Because also, sometimes things that are really funny on the day, when you look at them in post can feel too broad, you know? Sometimes not, but it's kind of weird how that can change.

I mean I certainly like when I'm like talking to people I'm like what did you think, what did you think, what did you think? You know that's always in the back of my head.

I'm pretty brutal about getting rid of stuff. There wasn't anything where I was like, "Oh, I miss that," because usually it's for a good reason.

I feel very creatively satisfied and lucky that I get to write for other people, but for something I direct, it has to be something I completely understand every facet of.

I've been putting together the story with Rob and putting all the details of it together and looking at all the various designs they have for the toys and stuff, it's pretty exciting.

Positive goals lead to positive actions for purposeful life.

All life is bound to a simple truth... that time goes on, that in each person's life begins a tale, a tale that will either end in memory or in legend.

She had picked up life where she had left off... and hoped that would be enough to get the universe to politely overlook her.

Dogs are a gift to mankind. They are happy and joyful and loyal by nature. They are pure, positive energy and teach by example. That is all that's required of them.

It is not so hard to be original, what is hard, is to be original with continuity.

Love is like the lion’s tooth.

I play to all people - all colors, all creeds ~ drunk, sober, everybody.

Who are to be the objects of popular choice? Every citizen whose merit may recommend him to the esteem and confidence of his country.

We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.

For me, gratitude only brings positivity. As simplified as it sounds, I think that is key.
