I can't imagine a successful comedy movie without a successful comedy performance at the heart of it.

Where's the great pay? Where's the travel? Where's the Winnebago, Goddamnit!

I look for the meaning in what's funny, and I look for what's funny about things that are meaningful to me.

The trick with sequels is, you have to give people what they liked before, yet be innovative enough so they don't feel like they're seeing the same movie.

You can't love somebody into a state of mental health. A lot of people get into serious relationships thinking they're going to heal someone with their love and attention, but it doesn't usually work out that way.

I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

The comic edge of Ghostbusters will always be the same. It's still treating the supernatural with a totally mundane sensibility. In the world of ghostbusting, there are certain givens. You're always going to have some new invented technology, some pseudo-science that sounds right because we drop enough familiar terms from physics and engineering, and pseudo-methodology, something that people will think they may have read something about before.
