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

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.

We are all several different people. There are different aspects of our nature that are competing.

Find the most talented person in the room and if it's not you, go stand next to him. Hang out with him. try to be helpful.

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

First and foremost, you have to make the movie for yourself. And that's not to say, to hell with everyone else, but what else have you got to go on but your own taste and judgment?

I never work just to work. It's some combination of laziness and self-respect.
