"Then The Graduate. It’s just one of the greatest comedies of all time. The way Dustin Hoffman is… You know, I guess that was his first big break and he just blew me away when I first saw that. Extraordinary performance, and you know, Mike Nichols. Just amazing, the way it’s shot; it’s just absolutely beautiful. And also, an incredible, quirky kind of love story."

"The first Tarkovsky I saw was Nostalgia, and I kept asking myself, how can someone have done this? Where does this mind come from? Later, I saw Andrei Rublev for the first time at Anthology. What I love about it is that it just hits you in places you don’t expect—the composition of the shots and how he fills them with emotion is so beautiful."

"This is was the first anime series I ever saw. It’s a gender-swap martial arts romantic comedy. We did a whole tribute episode to it. It was first made in 1989 which was such a good time for anime. I love the simple look and feel of the animation. Gender-swap is a tricky genre and Ranma has a very unique spin on it."
