I love animated films when they are good, because they do bring a lot of emotion and heart that's very difficult to get in a live action film.

Stand-up life is really hard. At one point, I got so paralyzed I could write five screenplays before I could write three jokes for stand-up. Later, I've finally allowed myself to relax quite a bit, to think I can do it because I've done it in the past. The pressure to come up with the material is the same but the anxiety about whether I can do it is gone.

... you're nuts but you're welcome here.

I didn't worry if a bit got no response, as long as I believed it had enough response to linger.

I would say the three stages of making a film are the initial 'are we gonna do this,' 'how much will I be paid,' is there a lot of nights, who's it going to be with? The second stage of doing a film is how much fun your going to have doing it. The third stage is was the film a hit?

The only thing that bothers me is if I'm in a restaurant and I'm eating and someone says, 'Hey, mind if I smoke?' I always say, 'No. Mind if I fart?

I don't really manage my time. I really just wait until I'm inspired to do something. And when I'm inspired to do something, it just happens.
