I wrote three years for Lucille Ball. She taught me everything I know about physical comedy...

He convinced me - Fred Freeman - to go to Hollywood and we went to Hollywood to write sitcoms. Joey Bishop actually paid my way to Hollywood.

I think a lot of creative people have no sense of numbers and economics.

I started as a journalist actually. I graduated from Northwestern Medill School of Journalism and with my degree discovered, once out in the real world, I wasn't very good at it.

You go to a theater now and you literally see parents watching the movie and they suddenly cover their kid's ears. I figured I'd make one movie where they didn't have to do this.

For Joey Bishop, always was kind of the lost soul, so I did a traffic joke.

I work with a lot of women and yeah I see totally different... My two sisters were different, I have two daughters that are pretty different.
