Peyton Reed Quotes

The makers of '21 and Over' have been screening it, and I'm getting a lot of comparisons to a young Vince Vaughn.

When I was in high school, there was 'Superbad' and 'The Girl Next Door' and 'Wedding Crashers' and all these great movies. You hope to be a part of something that's smart, funny and in that Todd Phillips-vein. You want to make something like 'Superbad.' That movie was so good and so funny.

I would love to branch out a little bit and... do a Judd Apatow type of movie. It just looks like it's so much fun.

I had a small part in 'Pineapple Express.'

It's great to be able to do shows like 'Falling in Love with the Girl Next Door,' which I think is entirely too long of a title.

I honestly love any good chick flick, as long as it's a good movie or pretty funny. 'Love Actually' is a no-brainer.

'Punch-Drunk Love' is my favorite movie.

Black Books adheres to a more old fashioned, traditional sitcom format, which I think works, because in its own way, it's quite theatrical.

'A Walk to Remember' was a huge movie for me. I thought Mandy Moore was the coolest thing that ever happened. And Shane West - man, did I have a crush on him.

'Yamla Pagla Deewana' is not slapstick but a situation based comedy.

I think 'Paper Moon' is a comedy-drama. 'What's Up, Doc?' was the most severe comedy, but my favorite film of my own is 'They All Laughed,' which is a kind of bittersweet comedy.

I think 'Nathan for You' is a really funny show, along with 'The Grinder' and 'Baskets.' I really like 'Man Seeking Woman.' It's the coolest show because they just do weird stuff, and it doesn't feel weird; they make it normal somehow, which I applaud. And 'Broad City' - I think those guys are awesome.

I love 'River's Edge.'

The first thing I ever saw Bradley Cooper in was 'Wedding Crashers.'

When I was in Canada I shot a romantic comedy that I'm looking forward to having people see, it's called 'The Weekend.'

I would love to do a 'Vicky Donor' kind of movie.

I always wanted to do a light-hearted entertainer, and 'Bruce Lee' is such a film. The brother-sister sentiment and the relationship between father and son will be very good. The comedy will be hilarious, but it is not a forced comedy.

The title 'Dohchay' is very perfect for the film. It is used very well in the title track. If you see the film, you will understand it.

There is some humor in Monsieur Lazhar and in all my other films, but this one I'll try to make a real comedy from start to finish. It's called Prescott Etc. because the name of the constituency is so long that everybody in the constituency just says Prescott Etc. I don't know if that's what it will be. It's a working title.

My favorite kind of film is serious comedy. Comedy with serious underpinning.

The broad comedy thing is really hard to do on film.

I was the offbeat character that had to kiss the offbeat boys and, ugh, some of the boys they brought in. There was one boyfriend in particular, we had to climb a mountain, and he was just weird and awful, and I hated it. So the producers left a big bag of Hershey Kisses after that taping saying, "Here are some kisses you will actually enjoy. Thanks for doing this." Isn't that so nice?

It's amazing how everyone has their different ways of working. I like hearing about that process, reading about it. I have so much appreciation for movies because I understand how hard it is to make one. There is always something I gain from watching a movie, whether it's a silly romantic comedy or an art film.
