The pressures having grown up in this business can be really rough. And it is a testament to you that you have remained focused and NOT lost your mind.

I'm not on all the time. I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker.

You do what it takes. It was on me to deliver.

You never really know until you put the movie in front of an audience. I am a big advocate of screenings, which are getting harder and harder to do nowadays.

I think that if you, as a comedian, are trying to be in people's face, then you've got to come up with new stuff every year. We're in a mass consumption phase where people take things for granted and want things to be instant when these are not things that can be instant.

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.

Just making a good movie is hard to do.
