I Really Enjoy Theater. I

I Laugh A Lot In Horror Films. If I'm Scared In A Horror Film, I Try To Think About What's Scaring Me... Particularly, If It's A Bad Movie, But Something They're Doing Still Works. It's The Same Way I Look At Comedy. I've Always Had An Intellectual View Of Comedy, And What Makes People Laugh, And How Does It Work.

With Each One Of My Films, I'm Exploring One Of My Own Issues And I Try To Expose Myself A Little In The Film.

When It Comes To Casting, I've Been So Lucky. I've Worked With Unbelievable Actors Who Make Me Look Better Than I Am And Take The Written Word And Make It Honest.

And The Biggest Improvement I See Between 'up In The Air' And 'juno' And 'thank You For Smoking' Is That 'up In The Air' Deals With The Complicated Human Stuff In A Way That My Other Films Have Not. It's A More Articulated Film, And Because Of That, I'm Most Proud Of It.

Selfishness, Narcissism, Being Uncomfortable In Your Own Skin, Not Feeling Connected To The World Around You, Feeling Dislocated From Family And Youth, Having A Strange Relationship With Your Childhood - All Those Things Feel Really True To Me.
