I think I have a finely tuned sense of humor. I think just being around it and growing up in it... my dad and Mel Brooks and Norman Lear. These are the people I grew up around.

I hate those movies where hundreds of people get blown up and there are jokes afterward. They poison the soul.

It gives you more freedom, the digital camera.

Anytime a movie lasts, it's really a thrill. I mean, that people can still pick up on it, and still enjoy it, that makes you feel great.

Pretty much anything you laughed at in the second half of the 20th century can be traced back to Your Show Of Shows.

The idea of playing a part where I get to wear a completely undetectable hairpiece... you can't walk away from that.

I'm always running around trying to raise money to make the films. Fortunately, I've been able to do that, but if I can't, at this point, it's not like I wanted to spend a lot of time putting together, you know, you spend a year of your life on something, you go, "What the hell am I doing that for?"
