"Seth probably has had the chance to do whatever romantic comedies he wants and make a lot of money. But he's taken this clout in Hollywood that he has and is looking to push the envelope. Without Seth, this movie would not be as wild as it was. It would be more cookie-cutter. Seth from day one would talk to the studio and say, 'You've got to let us do it the way we want to do it. That's the only way I'm going to do this movie, if it's wild and with nakedness and so on.' He knows a lot of his fans are probably going to be freaked out by this movie, and he welcomes it. He's not interested in repeating anything he's done before. You hear all these horror stories about Hollywood, and to meet someone like Seth and become friends with him, it's really an honor. I'm proud of this film, and a lot of what I'm proud about in it I owe to Seth Rogen."
