You Have To Write A Lot Of

You Can Do Weird Things On Tv - There Are Happy Stories, Sad Stories, Dark Stories. But With A Movie, It Always Has To End Satisfying. Unless You're The Coen Brothers, And It Ends With Somebody Getting Shot In The Head.

A Lot Of Times, It's Easy To Trim The Movie 'cause You Just Start Losing Things That You Thought Would Be There Just For Amusement's Sake That Actually Are Not Funny. My Favorite Part Of The Process Is Seeing It With An Audience. I Do About Eight Previews To See How Things Are Working.

If You Work On Network Tv, They Want To Pick Your Casts, Dictate Your Story And How Your Show Works. It Just Becomes Creativity By Committee, Which Is Never Good.

For Me, Until I Know That The Audience Really Gets What I'm Trying To Communicate I'm Not Done.

I Need To Find People Who I Respect So I Can Respect Them, And They'll Like Being Respected So They'll Respect Me, And That's Like A Marriage.
