“There's a lot of similarities, I think, between a thriller and a comed...” — Jon Watts Quote

“There's a lot of similarities, I think, between a thriller and a comedy because it's all about tension. It's about building tension and setups and payoffs and misdirections and surprising people and sort of pushing the boundary.”

“I had no problem relating to Peter Parker. He feels like he might be in way over his head but is desperate to prove himself.”

“'Welcome to the Dollhouse' is great. Even though it's about a girl in middle school, to me, that feels like the most honest reflection of what being a kid around that age feels like.”

“We have a nanny in the house, but there are always times when one of my kids does something bad or wrong, and they'll listen to me more than they do the nanny. So I think it's important to set up that boundary of respect for them at a young age, so they will know, 'I better listen to Mommy.'”

“You have to push the boundary, do something that people haven't seen before, because then it is exciting for them.”

“The human mind has infinite capacity to rationalize, and evil characters just push that boundary a bit. Whatever they're doing, they think it makes sense to do it, and they think they have a good reason to do it. In short, they feel justified.”
