Creativity is the answer. I always prefer the creative solution to an expensive solution.

I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.

I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.

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.

Slot machines are like crack for old people.

Great art is not instant. It comes from experience, it comes from a place within. If you're trying to generate material, then you're going to generate stuff. It's not going to be great, it's just going to be stuff.

People who are innately funny are innately disturbed.
