There's got to be something you want to tell and that's the engine which spurs all of the work you have to do in order to create the story, but you have to love some sort of nugget of what you're telling to be a filmmaker.

I seriously love to cook... My grandmother was an amazing cook. As a kid I used to help her make handmade pasta, Cavatelli and Ravioli. It was one of my favorite things to do. I love the idea of making whatever is in the fridge into something.

In a relationship you want to treat people the way you want to be treated.

I loved the college experience of studying.

Life's complicated and people do things for a lot of reasons.

I worked in restaurants the first half of my life.

I think the thought of a traditional family home is awesome. Traditional roles are becoming a thing of the past, but I think there is something really charming about them.

For a comedy to work, magic has to happen.

I definitely am a huge lover of comedy, and it's only through doing so many comedies that I've realised how much of an influence they've been on me.

Comedy is music.

I've never heard of a comedy that hasn't had reshoots, especially for the ending of a movie in a comedy.
