People Who Grew Up In New York

This May Come As A Surprise, Given The Nature Of My Job, But I Am Very Guarded And Contemplative. I'm Not A Naturally Boisterous Person.

I Worked As An Assistant Editor, Actually, For A Few Years. That Was Right When I Was Just Starting To Get Out At Night And Do A Lot Of Stand-up, Improv, And Sketch Work In New York. It Really Is Invaluable. I Think It Pounded Into Me An Awareness Of What An Editor Wants And Needs, In Terms Of Clarity Of A Moment, Where And When To Start And Stop A Line.

The Daily Show Was An Incredible Training Ground For That Kind Of Thing. It Was All About Discipline And Generating Material Constantly.

Probably My Favorite Thing About Watching A Movie That I'm In The First Time Is To See All The Things I Didn't Know Were Happening In A Scene Around Me.

When We Were Not Shooting [the Hangover] We Were Sleeping, So Pretty Much Every Waking Moment We Spent Together. And, You Know, Bradley [cooper], Zach [galifianakis] And I Were Acquaintances Before The Movie Started But We Became Good Friends Very Quickly And Spent So Much Time Together That It Was Just Inevitable We Were Either Going To Really Hate Each Other Or Really Like Each Other. Thank God It Turned Out To Be The Latter.
