The Comic Impulse Is Sometimes A Reaction

I Made A Handshake Agreement With My Best Friend In College, Michael Shamberg, Who Is Now A Movie Producer. We Used To Write Shows Together, And We Said, "let's Only Do What's Fun. Let's Never Take A Job Where We Have To Dress Up In A Suit."

I'm Terrified Beyond The Capacity For Rational Thought.

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

Most Comedies Are Calculated. They Tend To Pander. They're Not About Anything Important.

The Trick With Sequels Is, You Have To Give People What They Liked Before, Yet Be Innovative Enough So They Don't Feel Like They're Seeing The Same Movie.
