I just like to write stuff that makes people laugh, stuff that works, a fun movie that everyone can enjoy. I'm not really worried about the packaging, marketing, and what the studios are going to run next.

I think everyone needs to try their first script, and usually the first one isn't as good. You learn so much as you're trying to figure it out.

I love when people improvise as long as they're great improvisers, what I mean by that is people can improvise within their characters and within the scene.

Once I was in college, I was actually trying to write a comedy screenplay and I wrote basically the worst movie ever and just threw it away and never showed anybody. Everyone needs to get that first bad screenplay out of your system before you start writing other stuff.

Too many people are surfing the web and trying to figure out the politics of getting a movie made or taking meetings and trying to get someone to read something instead of creating a truly great script, because something great has a great chance of getting made, but something average that you've sort of talked people into reading doesn't have as good a shot.

Comedy works in fashion cycles, in a way. And sometimes, studios will imitate those cycles a little too much.
