Well, actually, I did start out in comedies. Very, very early.

My sense is, I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.

I think Junior is certainly a science fiction premise as is Twins, as is Dave, beyond Ghostbusters.

Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.

I believe that improvisation is really just a directorial tool. It's a writing tool. It's not so much that the actors get to say whatever they want, whatever pops into their head. It's an opportunity to write the last draft of the screenplay as you're working on it.

We got some devastating reviews on Animal House at the start.

I'd love to do a musical actually. My background is in music. I have a bachelors in music. I thought that I was going to be a composer, long ago when I first started. So it was amazingly fun to do those two routines in the film.
