That's what I love about the mockumentary style, is the added thing of people knowing they are on-camera, which changes your behavior. That's why we sometimes do what we call spy shots.

The reason most comedies don't win awards is that the filmmakers put the comedy first. This means you have to create a story around the jokes.

Everybody who's making the movies needs to work hard to make sure they're good. And if you don't show up and see the movies and support them financially, no one is going to make them. It's going to change unless it makes money. That's the long and short of it. You have to give in to the fact that it's a business.

When guys see a movie starring women, they go, "That must be filled with these characters I see in these movies who are such a drag." And that's just bad for everybody.

Forty is the line of demarcation that says you're an adult now. You're an adult, so don't pretend you're a kid anymore.

In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.

What you never want to do is have a story that doesn't track emotionally, because then you're going joke to joke and you're going to fatigue the audience. The only thing that's going to string them to the next joke is how successful the previous joke is.
