You can have a lot of destruction, but in a realistic female movie, the women are going to be aware of that destruction and apologizing for it.

I have felt that there's a lot of receptiveness to female stories now. I think some of it has a little bit - a lot of it is economically driven and driven by, just, kind of studios wanting to check that box because now they know they have a woman problem that they need to solve.

I didn't have a lot of men to ask questions of when I was starting out. There were two female directors people suggested I talk to when I was starting out, and they were Nancy Meyers and Kathryn Bigelow.

I feel like most movies about female friends derive their conflict from an extension of the high school movie rivalries, or there's some petty grievance: a competition over a guy or a wedding date or something. And I don't relate to any of that.

I've turned arrogance into an artform, where it's so absurd that it becomes comedy. But I've never done anything to hurt anybody or steal from anyone.

I don't know what I'd do if I was making a romantic comedy; I wouldn't feel like I was earning my $100 a day.

People like the comedy more when they care about the characters.

Even people that I agree with can do something that would be a target for a bit of humor.
