I Am A Filmmaker Fanatic. I Have

As A Writer, I Haven't Delved Into Dramatic Writing. As An Actor, I Could Always, Even More So Than Comedy, Do Drama.

Professionally, I Feel Like I Won The Lottery And I Am The Luckiest Person In The Entire World.

If You're Trying To Make Someone Happy, You Gotta Try And Make Them Happy. If You're Trying To Have A Normal Conversation, You've Got To Have A Normal Conversation. If You're Trying To Make Them Sad, You've Got To Make Them Sad. I Think That's How You Get Real Performances Out Of People.

My Heroes Are Bill Murray And Dustin Hoffman. Those Are The Two Actors That Both Do Comedies And Dramas, Seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly And Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're All Just Great Actors, Neither Comedic Nor Dramatic. They're Just Great Actors.

The Comedy Really Comes From How Badly You Want These Characters To Succeed And With A Comedy That's Often Hard.
