You know what killed off the dinosaurs, Whateley? We did. In one barbecue.

We have an obligation to imagine. It is easy to pretend that nobody can change anything, that we are in a world in which society is huge and the individual is less than nothing: an atom in a wall, a grain of rice in a rice field. But the truth is, individuals change their world over and over, individuals make the future, and they do it by imagining that things can be different.

I wanted to write something that would be a comedy in the sense of making people feel happier when they finish it than they did when began it.

The names are the first things to go, after the breath has gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names.

I came to the conclusion that in comedy, everybody gets what they need, whereas in horror, everybody gets what they deserve. I decided that at the end of the day, I was going to give everybody what they needed.
