Usually in romantic comedies you end up sacrificing a great deal of the complexity - you know just two attractive people and a good soundtrack.

Popular music formed the soundtrack of my life.

Music is the soundtrack to the crappy movie that is my life.

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do as I'm writing a movie is go through all those songs trying to find good songs for fights or good pieces of music to layer into the film.

I've always thought my soundtracks do pretty good because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home.

Sometimes I like to play the soundtracks to famous musicals so we can all sing along. South Pacific is one of my favorites. Our neighbors must hate us.

You get to actually see the music video on the TV in the pilot and we have the soundtrack playing at this big party. I thought that was sort of a cool moment to actually have the A-Ha video is pretty cool.
