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."

Don't be a jerk. Try to love everyone. Give more than you take. And do it despite the fact that you only really like about seven out of 500 people.

I very rarely made any move to direct anything. I didn't have any faith in myself.

My first writing jobs were writing Tom Arnold specials for HBO, so I love working there.

Most comedians weren't great athletes; that was the way they got noticed in high school.

Some people make movies and think, "Well, I'll just keep asking for more money if this isn't enough." And then there are other people, like Clint Eastwood, who always come in under budget.

If everyone is mature, there is no comedy.
