Some actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation.

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

I think when Sarah Palin opened her mouth and started talking, the more she talked, the less appealing she became.

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

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.

I'm fascinated by documentaries, to begin with. Because of the nature of television, as opposed to theatrical, documentaries can be in this long form and take you on a journey.
