In good comedy, the structure comes from truth and that weird eye that looks at the way life is.

You get to an age when you lose people close to you.

I know I don't go looking for directors.

In fact, the difference between creative and interpretive, it all starts with the writing. Then if you can get the money together to make the film, then you're in touch with the visuals and the actual creation, and the sound of what you want to mean. Of course, some directors get inspired by what people do anyway. Don't feel the need [to stick to the script]. In fact, they sometimes go "That's not what I had in mind, but that suits the purpose well.".

You know, Christianity has its own superstition anyway: Why you turn three times, what this saint means, why you pray to the patron saint of lost causes, why you go this way or that way.

If all you've got to do is a couple of lines, dear Jesus, don't let them down. Other people are taking responsibility.
