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

In general foreign invested companies who come to America to start a company, to open a manufacturing business or whatnot, they actually provide much higher wages than American companies.

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.

As for movies, what's great about comedy is that if your movie gets laughs and makes money, you have freedom.

You have to be able to fail with the improv. You have to not care.

David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.
