I Don't Know Why I'm Drawn To

I Laugh A Lot In Horror Films. If I'm Scared In A Horror Film, I Try To Think About What's Scaring Me... Particularly, If It's A Bad Movie, But Something They're Doing Still Works. It's The Same Way I Look At Comedy. I've Always Had An Intellectual View Of Comedy, And What Makes People Laugh, And How Does It Work.

Growing Up The Son Of A Director Has Made Me Very Aware Of The Various Turns That A Directing Career Can Take. Sometimes Your Films Turn Out Exactly As You Want. Sometimes They Don't. I Spent A Lot Of My Childhood On Sets. I Think As A Joke, My Father Gave Me A Line Of Dialogue In Each Of His Films During The Worst Moments Of My Puberty.

As Far As Writing, I Like Watching Bad Movies. Nothing Stops Me In My Tracks More Than Watching A Great Film Like 'the Godfather' Or 'dog Day Afternoon' Or 'the Graduate.' You Watch One Of Those, And You Never Want To Write Again. Whereas With Bad Movies, It Makes You Think, If That Counts, I Certainly Could Write.

I Think, Through Comedy, Sometimes We're Allowed To Discuss Things That You'd Never Be Able To Talk About In A Drama.
