There's something honorable about holding out for love and not breaking up for the sake of the baby. I see people get divorced, and there is a part of me that thinks, I wonder how hard they tried?

I always thought it was important to overdeliver, and when I got one of my first jobs, writing jokes for Garry Shandling when he was hosting the Grammys, I stayed up all night and wrote a hundred jokes, and I thought, "I'm always going to be the person that gives them more than they requested, and that's why they'll want to keep me around."

I remember the review from Michael Wilmington in Chicago, and Gene Siskel wrote really smart reviews where I thought, "Oh, they totally get what we're attempting to do."

And I like the passion that people have when they're trying to prove they can make a movie or be a movie star.

I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.

I loved the idea that I could write a joke and someone else would have to take the risk of performing it.
