A Quote by Lizzy Caplan
I feel more confident in being able to be funny if I'm comfortable with the people I'm around. When you're friends with them, it just makes it all the better. Plus, shooting a movie, you're sitting on your ass for hours at a time, so if you have somebody there to mess around with and have fun, then it's great.

What I feel the most confident about as a teacher, whatever my strengths and weaknesses are.

One of my beliefs as a filmmaker is that if you can make somebody laugh, you can make them listen. With laughter, you can get somebody's guard down, you can open them up to listening to you.

And at the end of the day, it makes a movie a little more fun. It doesn't feel so heavy handed.
