A Good Comedy’s Very Hard To Make,

There Are So Many Burning Issues To Be Dealt With That It's Completely Understandable And Natural That A Character Is Struggling With These Issues Themselves. In That Struggle, You Inform The Audience. The Thing About This Writing Is That It's Very Easy To Learn. Good Writing Always Is.

I Suppose I Look For Humor In Most Situations Because It Humanizes Things; It Makes A Character Much More Three-dimensional If There's Some Kind Of Humor. Not Necessarily Laugh-out-loud Type Of Stuff, Just A Sense That There Is A Humorous Edge To Things. I Do Like That.

You Never Know When The Publicity People Will Feel It Is A Good Time To Release The Film.
