I do films that I like. I have done comedy, romance, everything, and I always like to do it differently from the previous ones.

With comedy especially, it feels like such a clear-cut thing to be a writer-director. There is so much nuance and tone in a comedy that it's hard to contextualise it in a script.

With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.
