The Cutting Room Is Where You Discover

I Had Developed A Survival Skill Of Using My Wit To Score For Myself. If A Scene Was Dying, I'd Lob In These Little Bombshell Lines That Would Get Me Some Attention And A Laugh Without Really Helping The Scene.

Ive Never Been A Big Believer In Ghosts Or The Spirit World, And For Me, That Was Part Of The Point Of The Movie, ... What The Ghostbusters Represented Was The Triumph Of Human Courage And Human Ingenuity. People Create Their Own Monsters. Our Fears Come From Within Us, Not Outside.

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."

As Much As I Liked Acting For Its Playfulness And The Reward Of Hearing Big Laughs Wash Over You On A Stage, I Always Felt I Should Do Something That I Could Control.

I Never Work Just To Work. It's Some Combination Of Laziness And Self-respect.
