The Good Thing About L.a.

I Always Thought Realistic Was A Better Way To Explain Things That Were "dramedies" Because Life Is Like That. It's Funny, It's Dramatic And To Me That's How I See It.

We Were Really Fortunate To Work [on Pineapple Express] With A Studio That Was Really Supportive Of These Guys. It Was Before Superbad And Knocked Up Had Even Come Out, But Everyone Just Felt Really Great About Them And The Energy Surrounding Seth [rogen] And Evan [goldberg] And Judd [apatow] - All Of These Guys - And The Idea Of Getting Franco Back Into Comedy As Well.
