The interesting thing about movies, it's not always - y'know, you have to have structure etc and all those things, but an audience responds, in many ways, we walk away and certain things stay in our heads that are memorable.

You don't always have to have the ending, but you want to have a satisfactory conclusion.

You have a movie and it proves itself and then certain things happen.

I got involved with an acting school and studied for a couple years. They used to have improv exercises that you would work on and you would do improvs.

I don't know that you can do it as a satire. I mean, the business is crazy enough as it is. It's like doing Wag The Dog - we took a thing that was almost completely absurd on one level, and then ultimately those things came about.

I got a chance to work with Mel Brooks on two of his films: Silent Movie and High Anxiety.

All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough, that it removes tension and everyone feels free. If they feel free then behaviour happens, small moments happen and that's what ultimately works the best for me.
