For years, its driven me crazy that women dont have better roles, especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt… misogynist streak is too strong a term – but a dismissiveness. – Paul Feig
Period costume films are fun to discover, but theyre not relatable. Its more, Wow, thats cool – did it really look like that back then? Whereas with a comedy, youre like, Yeah, thats me, thats my friends. No matter what, I want people to relate. – Paul Feig
I love funny people, and when Im with funny people, or people who are amusing in their weirdness, I love it. Because that to me is funny, as opposed to someone who stops and says, Hey let me tell you a joke. – Paul Feig
Womens humor seems to be a little more supportive. Its just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like Im going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys. – Paul Feig
