I Think Of Myself As A Real

Never Hit Anyone In Anger, Unless You're Absolutely Sure You Can Get Away With It.

I've Always Had That Overweening Desire To Be Liked By The Audience.

I Try To Measure The Amount Of Truth In A Work Rather Than Just Looking At The Generic Distinction Between Comedy And Drama.

Most Comedy Is Not Very Ambitious. You Probably Can't Name More Than A Handful Of Comedies That Would Qualify For Best Picture.

I Did A Comedy With Al Franken About His Character Stuart Smalley, Which Was Really About Alcoholism And Addiction And Codependency. It Had Some Painful Stuff In It. When We Showed It To Focus Groups, Some Of Them Actually Said, "if I Want To See A Dysfunctional Family, I'll Stay Home."
