I put heavy emphasis on the characters.

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.

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

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.

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.

I always prefer the big laugh. That is always the objective, especially with a film like Scary Movie 2

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.
