If you're a studio writer, the funny better be on the page.

The first record I bought with my own money was Rio.

Being a movie star is stressful as hell. You've got to do crunches all day long. You've got to get up and learn lines.

I'm always doing what I can to look for and just feel out funny things that are happening in the scene and improvise off of them.

The only guaranteed way to make something not very funny is to make it vague.

Who is writing these screenwriting books? Not actually writing for the studios in Hollywood. These are people that have one or a half of a credit on maybe one movie, or none. So they're all theoretical.

All studio movies are the middle of the Bell curve. The only way to do something is to do it yourself. And the only way to do that is to not take any money from anyone or take as little money as possible from anyone and that's it.
