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.

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.

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.

Norman Mailer enhances the beauty of pugilism by elegantly exploring it.

Deep down in me I knowed it was a lie and He knowed it. You can't pray a lie-I found that out.

It's always harder to maintain raw enthusiasm or joy than to go into a really dark place.

As a kid, image played a huge part. I'm sure most kids find the image of the guitarist exciting.

The nation should move towards one target, one direction, one intention and one decision.

A scholar is a candle which the love and desire of all men will light.

Out of many shared years. One life.

For those who want some proof that physicists are human, the proof is in the idiocy of all the different units which they use for measuring energy.

Irrelevance happens when the speed of change outside an organization is greater than speed of change inside an organization.

Accepted that we all are human resources, but we are humans first and resources later.
