'Blazing Saddles' is one of the funniest movies ever made.

The easiest time to be funny is during a fairly serious situation. That way, you can break the ice. It's crazy, but even at funerals, people will get huge laughs.

There are so many shoot-'em-up, action, jingoistic TV shows and movies that are made every year. I think the final line is that Hollywood is populist.

I think what's dangerous [about comedy] is that you're coming into the room announcing your intentions.

I'm just a giant film fan, so I love action movies out of all kinds of movies. As a film geek, it's amazing to be able to shoot this stuff.

Every time I wrote a sketch that was in my voice, Ferrell would just do it better.

Most of what's tricky about comedy is the perception of it and the audience's expectation.
