I've always had that overweening desire to be liked by the audience.

I think of myself as a real writer, not just someone who dabbles in it, so I deserve some credit.

I had a lot of fun working with John Candy. We had a pretty good rapport.

I always claim that the writer has done 90 percent of the director's work.

Multiplicity was a movie that tested really well. People seeing the movie really liked it, but then the studio couldn't market it. We opened on a weekend with nine other films.

Just expressing contempt for your leaders doesn't really accomplish anything.

I loved writing and performing, but the idea of doing it for a living seemed so remote. But I eventually let it devolve to the point where it was the only thing I could do.
