I'll accept bad taste in a minute, as long as there's some great comedy minds and performances.

Good taste is the enemy of comedy.

I've always loved songwriting, and I vowed to be a songwriter like Cole Porter when I was only 9 years old.

We mock the things we are to be.

Being short never bothered me for three seconds. The rest of the time I wanted to commit suicide.

Anybody can direct, but there are only eleven good writers.
