"A good work ethic is not so much a concern for hard work but rather one for responsibility.

"I don't mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I'm good at. I do what I do and that's it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it."

"Our mother was a very religious and observant Jew, our father less so. She was kind of driving the religious education, so for us it was more a burden and an obligation when we were kids at that age."
Age
"We don't have any rules about how we depict violence, or how much violence is in a movie. It's a calibration on a case-by-case basis."
Rules
"I guess there's a certain amount of poking fun at certain characters, but that's because there is something amusing about them or about the way they behave, so I guess you can say that that's poking fun at the character. But the character is your own invention, so who cares?"
Character
"Maybe our telling of the story wasn't as clear as it should have been, but I don't think that's true. In terms of understanding the story, it comes across."
Story
"These things are hard to pin down. We work on a script a bit, then work on a different one."
Work
"The architecture of a story can be a little bit different if it's a true story."

"When you do a writing job for a studio, one of the things you want to do is satisfy the expectations of your employer. That's a little bit different than when you sit down and write something to satisfy yourself, because then you're the employer."
Expectation

"We create monsters and then we can't control them."
