I feel like I'm long overdue for a "one for me" movie, so I've got two low-budget indy personal things I'm working on.

The first person I met in the business was David Heyman, who was a producer on Daytrippers and who went on to produce the highly-unsuccessful Harry Potter series.

I feel this way about a lot of movies, that the characters are idealized versions of people. For better or worse, I am as fascinated with human flaws as anything.

Jon Hamm was the first I thought of for the other role in [Keeping Up with the Joneses], I recently worked with him on Clear History, an HBO improv movie that we had done together.

It actually took me 20 years to want to write about my youth. I was definitely always a little intimidated about writing about that part of my life.

One of the dangers of making a movie about young people is it's potentially trite.

My first love will always be movies.

Jon Hamm is incredibly good at playing people who have secrets and are hiding aspects of their personality, and obviously Don Draper had a lot of that.

I've been co-writing a TV thing with Bryan Cranston, which we are going to find out soon if it's moving forward or not which is for Amazon.

Brian Eno records and music became a huge obsession of mine in college, in a way that a pop song can provide solace. I don't know if it's shallow or silly, but it meant so much to me.

Even the mistakes and the pain that you've caused and enacted upon you. That is definitely what I'm trying to capture

I love you all, even those I don’t particularly like. That’s you, Beryl.

I don't have anything to prove to anybody else other than myself and my supporters and my loved ones, so if my health is good, I'm going to go out there and kill it.

The joy of the Lord is your strength and the person of Christ is your unassailable joy - and the battle for joy is nothing less than fighting the good fight of faith.

Let it be. Silly song, really. You let it be, it returns. There's the truth. You let it be, it drags you to the ground. You let it be, it crawls up your walls.

Nah... I mean, I'm already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into?

Is this college football's version of Arena Football? These guys need to grow some hair on their peaches.

If we never met again in our lives I should feel that somehow the whole adventure of existence was justified by my having met you.

If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.

Any film I've made, I've only really begun to understand in the cutting room. That's when the story shows itself to you, like a wreck coming out of the sea.

When we give from a place of love, rather than from a place of expectation, more usually comes back to us than we could ever have imagined.
