You can kind of feel when things are going to work out

I think a lot comes from having the experience of doing stand-up comedy. It allows you to figure out the psychology of an audience; what things are funny and not.

Just making a good movie is hard to do.

People who are innately funny are innately disturbed.

There are two phases to a movie. First you shoot the movie, and then you make the movie. Generally, post-production is longer than filming.

It's rare that you cut out something that is really good. You screen all of it, and when the audience doesn't respond, you cut out whatever is holding the story down.

A comedian, or any artist, needs their time to develop what they are doing. There has to be some respect for the art form and when it's allowed to be seen.
