I want to be part of movies that have important and interesting subjects but are not depressing and are rather satirical and funny.
I like talking about subjects that aren't funny in the first place and making them funny. So anything down and depressing is something I'll talk about.
In thinking about 'depressing movies,' many people don't realize that all bad movies are depressing, and no good movies are.
When we are able to receive life's challenges as koans rather than problems, they become interesting and exciting, rather than ponderous and depressing.
For whatever reason, I think we have one type of animated movie and it's so wrong. I want to do a drama, I want to do an action, a comedy. In live-action, there are all sorts of movies. There's independent movies, big movies, action movies, funny movies, and for us we have one movie.
My motto: 'No good movie is depressing. All bad movies are depressing.'
Horror movies can be very interesting because they can deal with intangible subjects that are full of emotion.
To me, being funny is more important than making a point, but I don't know. Most politicians are so interested in making points that they don't ... I'd rather be funny myself, and I'd rather listen to somebody with a little sense of humor.
I love depressing movies and depressing books.
When I was in high school, there was 'Superbad' and 'The Girl Next Door' and 'Wedding Crashers' and all these great movies. You hope to be a part of something that's smart, funny and in that Todd Phillips-vein. You want to make something like 'Superbad.' That movie was so good and so funny.
I don't find movies interesting. I just want to do the movies that made me interested in getting into movies, and they're few and far between.
When I was younger, when I was a teenager, the work was more satirical and funny and cartoony. And part of it was chops - if you have a more limited repertoire of stick figures and cartoon characters, they lend themselves more to humor than to tragedy.
To me, comedies are usually the least funny movies. Movies that are actually a comedy are usually not all that funny. To me Goodfellas and Raging Bull are two of the funniest movies I ever saw.
In 'Notting Hill,' I was part of a whole plot line over six scenes that was completely taken out. That was rather depressing.
I think its important for movies to recognize that they are part of a history of movies. I also think that most movies are about movies anyway, even if they're about something else.
With 'Decoded,' the goal is to just keep pushing forward and challenging ourselves to tackle important subjects in creative and funny ways.
Try to find someone with a sense of humor. That's an important thing to have because when you get into an argument, one of the best ways to diffuse it is to be funny. You don't want to hide away from a point, because some points are serious, but you'd rather have a discussion that was a discussion, rather than an argument.
