I always thought that Bill Murray was one of the great actors that I've worked with. And I've worked with all kinds of people who are known primarily for their dramatic work.

In a comedy it helps enhance things that were already there.

We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don't know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama.

I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good.

I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.

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

Then my first film was something called Cannibal Girls, which sounds like a horror movie but was actually kind of a goofy comedy with horror elements. Like a horror spoof.
