I'm As Serious As A Heart Attack.

I Guess The Worst Day I Have Had Was When I Had To Stand Up In Rehab In Front Of My Wife And Daughter And Say 'hi, My Name Is Sam And I Am An Addict.'

Any Changes That I Made To My Line, I Asked If I Could Make Them, Which I Do In Every Movie. So Far Everybody's Been Gracious Enough To Say Yes. The Only Improvising I Do Is In The Movies I Do With Chris Guest, Which Is What We Do.

I'm Pretty Focused On What I Do. I Think Directing Is A Very Specific Talent, And I'm Not Real Big On Putting Puzzles Together, Which Is Basically What A Film Is.

There Are Tons Of Stories Out There. I Read A Lot Of Scripts On A Weekly Basis. I'm Looking For Stories To Tell And Stories That I Hope Will Be Interesting To An Audience.

Those Are The Rules. To Improvise In A Movie With Other People, When They're Following A Script, Everybody Has To Know What's Going On. I Think A Line Or Two We Might Change. Certainly, I Do. But I Wouldn't Call It Improvising. I'd Call It Fudging The Lines.
