I've never been disappointed, because I've never given somebody I liked that much power.

I've been to many funerals of funny people, and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have, because the emotions run high.

I guess 'The Player' was a pretty good L.A. movie. And 'Chinatown.' Was there ever a better L.A. movie about a certain period in L.A.? That was terrific.

In my screenplays - from the very beginning I've always used tape. I talk my screenplays. And then have somebody transcribe them.

I just like making people laugh, and buried in that I like to bring up topics and start discussions.

There's nothing funny about flying to Houston.

I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.
