I've never done an improvised movie as a fictitious character. I think that's the challenge.

I pretend I'm one of the royal family when I'm in a hotel and that the hotel belongs to me - it is a palace.

When you start a new project and they say, "Your director is going to be Joe Blo," you're hoping that Joe Blo will be the next Martin Scorsese, but it doesn't always work out that way.

All these things that enter your head are assignments. You write them up and then throw them out there and if someone wants to do it, your assignment is done.

The thing in comedy is that once you start worrying about something not succeeding, you're frozen. There's no verdict on anything. You can make ¡Three Amigos!, and some people will at the time say, "Oh, that's too silly." Then five years later, silly is hip. Now it's considered art. I never comment on anything I do, because if I say anything negative about X film, or X TV show, or X project, people who saw it and loved it go, "Well, am I an idiot?"

No one is any one thing.

I think I'm funny because my family, my siblings were funny.
