I Did Stand-up Comedy For Seventeen Years.

I Would Still Have Old Ladies Come Up To Me After The Show And Pat Me On The Cheek After I Had Said All This Vulgar Stuff. They Would Be Like, 'oh You're A Silly Boy - We Know You're Just Playing.

Because Of What I Experienced When I Was A Kid, I Want Kids To Have That Kind Of An Epiphany Moment, That Little Jolt, That Little Spark That They See When Dusty ['planes'] Flies Higher Than He Has Before. That Scene Where He Flies Straight Up, And He's Starting To Get Dizzy, And Then Finally It Comes Together. We Forget As Adults. We Get Jaded And We Think That's Kids' Stuff, But For A Kid Who Doesn't Know About Anything Technical Or How A Movie Is Made, They're Just Going To See This And Hear This Beautiful Score And See This Dynamic, Fantastical Thing Happening In Front Of Them.

I Saw A Young Boy Eating An Ice Cream Cone, ... I Smashed It In His Face. You Know That Kid Is Going To Remember Me When He's 50.

When You're On A Movie Set And You Are Hopefully Making A Comedy, Everyone's Stifling Their Laughter. You're Looking At The Crew Guys, Hoping Someone Is Making That Face Like, And Not Like, This Is Not Working Out, Man.

You Are The Director Of Your Own Life Story. Don't Cast Idiots Or People Will Walk Out During Your 2nd Act.
