Everything in comedy's got to be exactly right, which is why making a comedic film is kind of a difficult process, because, for most of the two years of shooting it and editing it and reshooting and all of that, it's not quite right. And it's only when you just at the end, you put the final polish on it, it becomes really funny again.

I think it takes a long time, as you get older, to realize just how crazy the world is, just how ridiculous it all is.

I think you can write very good comedy without a partner, but what I love about it, working with a partner, is that you get to places you'd never get on your own. It's like when God was designing the world and decided we couldn't have children without a partner; it was a way of mixing up the genes so you'd get a more interesting product.

If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you open to my ideas

Sense of humor is so much more subjective than anyone believes.

The sad thing about true stupidity is that you can do absolutely nothing about it.

That's a lovely experience when you make an audience laugh. Then the nerves go away for a bit. And sometimes you do things then that you've never done before that are really funny.
