I Think I'm Optimistic, Yeah, Especially In

I Like The Stooges. You Know What Movie I Saw That I Sort Of Discovered Late Was Jerry Lewis In 'the Nutty Professor'. I Really Liked That.

When I Worked In Those Offices, It Was Just Irritating To Me That Somebody Sat There And Designed This Place, Never Thinking That You Would Walk From Here To There, And They Didn't Care. The One Guy Designs It, Gives It To The Other Guy, He Looks At It; No One Thinks About All The People That Gotta Walk Through It. So I Think The Best Way To Show Those Banal Moments Is To Be Just Flat And Wide.

It Kind Of Hit Me At Some Point During The Process That Most People In The Film Business - Not Just The Executives, The People Who Make Them, Too - Tend To Come From Pretty Upper-class Backgrounds. If They Go Work A Job, It's To Have That Experience, That Sort Of Thing. After They Graduate College, They Have Time To Go Visit Europe And Take Some Time Off And Get Their Heads Together. That Kind Of Thing, I Sure Didn't Have.

It Seems Like There's A Lot Of People Who Just Do Not Understand Satire. They Think It's Weird. There's People Who Just Don't Understand You Portray Something Or Just Explore A Character, It Means You're Condoning It, Saying This Is The Way To Live.

I Actually Saw A Kid And Went Home And Drew Him. I Don't Even Know Who He Was. I Was Buying A Tv Set In Circuit City. I Was Looking At This Kid And He Was Kind Of Standing There, Staring Off Into Space. Kids Are Pretty Chubby Nowadays Because Of All The Fast-food Places. I Grew Up Eating Fast Food But Now Everything Is Double Beef And Double Cheese. So There Are A Lot Of These Chubby Boys With Long, Baggy Shorts.
