Not Every Movie Has To Serve As

I Got Nominated For An Academy Award(r) For Writing 'borat.'

I Don't Have A Horror Film In Me Just Because I Don't Like To Be Scared. But I Definitely Have A Documentary In Me, And I Certainly Have Dramas.

When You Work On A Movie Or A Tv Show, You're A Family, So If Something That's A Two-minute Thing In The Movie Is Causing A Rift In The Family, You Also Have To Think About At What Point Do You Fight This, And At What Point Is This Rift Worth Having In This Very Small, Very Tight Group Of People Who Are Just There To Make Something Great And Funny.

I Was Raised By My Mom. She Taught Me How To Be A Gentleman; Nobody In The Movies Taught Me. I Think People Are Raised By Their Parents. If You're Raised By Movies, It's A Whole Other Set Of Problems. I Don't Think It's As Simple As Me Saying Movies Are Meant To Entertain, But I Certainly Don't Feel Moral Responsibility In Putting This Out In The World And Being Like, "ok, This Is Going To Affect How Guys Make Decisions Because They See Some Of My Films Or Whatever." I Just Don't.

I Take It Very Seriously, Music. I Think It's One Of The Tools That A Director Has With Which To Kind Of Paint. The Right Music Can Sometimes Do Five Pages Of Scripted Dialogue.
