What's great about well-written material is, if you can shock with justifiable actions, that's the best.

I'm just a big boy, I'm still just playing cowboys and Indians and astronaut and baseball player and all that stuff that I used to play as a kid.

I'm not crazy about being out of control, and I get emotional when things are unclean. When things are out of order. When things are messy. Because I lived in a mess as a child.

I have talked to stunt drivers all my life, 32 years of talking to stunt drivers. There's a craziness to them.

As a director you come in and tell the actors how good they are.

With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.

What's great about comedy, obviously, is that you set up a situation that people assume one thing and then you break the assumption. That's basically the backbone to comedy. You set up a situation, let people make an assumption, and then you break the assumption.
