Nobody sets out to offend or shock for the sake of shocking. You set out to get laughs.

I was a big Fred Flintstone fan.

Everybody in my family had a real sick, twisted sense of humor. Most of the jokes we make in our house, we would just never even dream of making anywhere else. Just sick, horrible stuff. That wasn't anything new to college.

From a writing standpoint, maybe television is a little more satisfying because it's not all hinging on one thing. You can experiment, week to week, and you can be a little narrower in your scope one week, and then be a little broader the next week. But with film, everything can look the way you want it to look. You can really sculpt the final product. So from a directorial standpoint, film is more satisfying. But, they're both forms of media that I'd like to keep involvement in.

Denzel Washington has a great sense of humor. He did all those 'Nutty Professor' movies.

You gotta keep the funny intact.

When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.
