There's nothing worse than the sequel that's a letdown from the first movie.

You want a happy ending, but not such a ridiculous happy ending that it doesn't mean anything to anybody.

I was a standup comedian, which is kind of like writing and directing yourself.

A lot of comedies fall apart because they just go from joke to joke, and the characters are all sort of being crazy off on their own.

I'm not a painter who's saying, "I want people to see my work when I die; it will be this and that." That's not satisfying to me.

'Constitutional' is just a real pip of a word. Positively rolls off the tongue. In fact, it's downright fun to say. 'Con-stit-too-shun-al.' It's the verbal equivalent of skipping down the street with an ice cream cone in your hand. It's like a semantic bag of Lays potato chips. You simply can't just say it once.

I have an inability to enjoy things, but that's why we're in comedy. If we were happy, we wouldn't be funny, I guess.
