Writing And Directing Just Sort Of Fell

My Favorite Thing Is Watching People Watch The Hollars Movie And Then Come Up To Me And Say Whether They Went Through An Experience Like That Or They Went Through An Experience Nothing Like That, But It Still Was Their Mom Or "that Was My Brother" Or Whatever It Was - That's Great.

I Think It's A Big Chance To Take To Make A Movie That's About As Something As Pure And Honest And Something People Can Relate To Everyday.

People Have A Sense Of Humor, Even If It's Not A Good One, And Everybody Has Stakes.

Let's Be Honest, You And I Have Probably Seen A Whole Lot Of Family Films - You Have To Do Something Special. Jim Strouse Has The Ability To Write This Hairpin Turn Between Emotion And Comedy That Is Very Real. In Real Life, You Don't Have Time To Prepare For The Bad Stuff And You Don't Have Time To Prepare For The Good Stuff, It Just Sort Of Happens.

Keeping It Real Is The Key And I Don't Know How They've Done That Week After Week. I Think The Key Is That Everybody Can Sort Of Empathize With [the Office].
