I know I don't go looking for directors.

I'm not a comic person at all.

Casting is very, very important.

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

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

In fact, most of the work that I have done for the American Hollywood things have not been in Hollywood. The studios are going out in Europe or around the place working.

Conflict sometimes produces results, but more often than not it produces confusion at the level of everybody on the same track.
