I am always driven by the terror of humiliation.

For a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it's the opposite.

I have to make good things so good comedians want to talk to me.

I used to watch 10 hours of television a night, my entire childhood. And I don't think it did all good things to me. I certainly still have social problems that are a result of being in my room alone too much.

[My] dream writers room: "'Taxi.' I need to write for someone named Judd."

With comedy, a lot of people develop their sense of humor as a defense mechanism.

You want the audience to get your movie, and you want the audience to like it. It's as simple as that. If they don't understand what you're trying to say, you've failed. Of course, you can't get 100 percent of the crowd to understand the movie, but you know when you've reached the people you want to reach.
