I am not one of those guys who pretends not to enjoy his own work.

I was hired to do this one great script called 'Cap'n Ricky' and that project is up in the air at the moment.

I hope I don't just do the exact same thing my whole life. I also feel like it's really hard to make comedy. It's almost impossible for comedy filmmakers and directors to stay relevant as they get older.

One, I never get sick of talking about myself.

I've come to the possible conclusion that being a comedic writer/director is like running track. You do it for a certain amount of time and then you have to stop. Or you at least have to accept that you're not going to be at the top of your game. And that's OK.

Obviously Mad TV, SNL are one kind of show, whereas The State belongs to the kind of show that is entirely conceived written and performed by a set group that existed before the TV show.

Everyone who went to college and especially people working in media seem to know at least one person from Shaker Heights. There's just something about that place that made people go to the coast.
