I've always been a big fan of Stephen King, especially in my teenage years.

It's like my second home, 'It.' And I would like to return to it, because I feel very comfortable with it, and I have an understanding of it, and I'm passionate about it.

A movie is very different when you're writing the script and you're building a story compared to what the final product is.

At the beginning when you're writing and building the beats of the story, everything that you put in there seems very essential to the story. However, when you have the movie finally edited and it's 4 four hours long, you realise that some of the events and some of the beats can be easily lifted but the essence of the story remains intact.

Comedy is really best when watched with other people, and I don't really understand people who sit at home watching comedy movies on Netflix.

Food is sort of like the Jewish sense of humor, a defense mechanism. It is one of the things that helped the Jews survive through 2,000 years of an often very harsh Diaspora.

The definition of comedy is 'unsafe space' - you can't control what people laugh at.

And if you have great writing, it's really easy, but if it's not so great and you have to work a little harder, I could tell where the work needed to be done but comedy is just fun.
