Growing up, I had the weird fantasy list: I wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, and Stan Lee. You have to have almost psychotic drive, because you're going to have years of failure.

I am like the Jack Nicholson of the Kings - every single game. If there was a game tonight I wouldn't be here. I used to play hockey. That was my original thing. My first thing, I wanted to play professional hockey.

My advice: Don't quit. When I got to New York City, I lived so far below the poverty line, because I didn't give in and get a job at 7-Eleven. I think you can thrive in misery.

My goal is to keep making films and grow as a film maker; that's always my goal.

My father could be very witty, even if the humor was always on the darker side of irony.

I have this weird obsession with kids and old people falling. Like, funny falls. It is awful, but it's the thing that makes me laugh the most.

Comedy is delivered to people in the same form that music is being delivered: by YouTube. People are sharing music and comedy in the same way now.

I'm not a big 'scripted comedy' person necessarily. I'm open for wherever comedy can be found.
