The Idea Of Playing A Part Where

When You Do Improv, You're Everything. You're A Performer, Writer, And Director, Because You're Moving The Scene In The Direction You Want It To Go, You're Making It Up As You Go, And You're Acting It. You're All Of Those Things, So I Always Viewed Myself That Way. And With The Films I've Done, I've Written On Them, I've Acted In Some Of Them. And Even Ones I Haven't Acted In, I've Acted Them Out Just To Be Sure Another Actor Can Do Them.

The Movie Studios, They Only Like To Make - I Make A Joke, But It's True - If The Movie Has The Word "man" And A Number In The Title, They'll Make It. If It Doesn't Have That, It's An R-rated Raunchy Comedy, And That's It. Any Other Movie That You're Going To Make Is Going To Be An Independent One. So For Filmmakers Who Want To Do Something Other Than "man" And A Number, It's Either Independent Films Or Television, Which Is Like The Place For Real Creative Filmmakers To Go.

I Guess As I Get Older, I'm Kind Of Getting Drawn To The Things That I Really Love The Most, Which Is Trying To Figure Out Ways Of Blending Politics With Humor, And Making It Interesting. So I Don't Know If Anybody's Interested In This Stuff, But I Like It, So I Get Involved With It.

The Script Is Like Music To Me. I Approach It Like It's A Musical Piece And I Hear How It's Supposed To Sound When People Say The Words. There's Rhythms And There's Intonations And Things, And So, When Somebody Comes In And Hits The Notes That I Hear, I Go Okay. Or, They Come Close Enough, And Then I'll Say "well How About You Try It Like This?" And If They Have A Good Ear And They Can Pick It Up, Then I Think Okay, They've Got It.

I Love Working With My Dad, But I Need To Be Independent And Do My Own Stuff.
