I Had A Lot Of Fun Working

I've Always Thought That Comedy Was Just Another Dramatic Expression. I Try To Measure The Amount Of Truth In A Work Rather Than Just Looking At The Generic Distinction Between Comedy And Drama. There's A Lot Of Bullshit Drama That Leaves You Totally Cold. And There's A Lot Of Wasted Comedy Time Too. But When You Get Something Honest, It Doesn't Matter What Label You Give It.

The Child Says, "well Geesh, The Institutions That I'm Supposed To Respect - The Church And The Government - They're Telling Me Things That Don't Appear To Be True. Either I'm Crazy Or They're Crazy." That Creates The Absurd Child. The Absurd Child Is One Who Says, "well, I Think They're Crazy." So You Live In This State Of Alienation From Your Culture And Your Society And Your Family Because You See This Rampant Bullshit Around You.

It's A Great Luxury For Me To Be Able To Write On The Films That I Direct, And Kind Of A Nice Thing To Be Able To Write Enough To Get Credit, Which Is Difficult For A Director.

I Think Of Myself As A Real Writer, Not Just Someone Who Dabbles In It, So I Deserve Some Credit.

I Had Developed A Survival Skill Of Using My Wit To Score For Myself. If A Scene Was Dying, I'd Lob In These Little Bombshell Lines That Would Get Me Some Attention And A Laugh Without Really Helping The Scene.
