I suppose some studio executive would say it's death for a comedy if people aren't all laughing in the same places, but I find with my movies that people laugh in very different places. I can't control it.

Wes Anderson's films, 6-year-olds are crazy about them.

I find a lot of writing happens when you're not actually at the computer. So I carry a notebook.
