The good thing about being a writer is that you don't need anything except for a laptop. You can really do your own work and if you're not manically compelled to write all the time before you do it professionally, it's probably not a business for you anyway.

Writing studio movies is the best job in the world... it's awesome.

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

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

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.

I think people were not expecting us [with Robert Ben Garant] to, they were just like, "Well here come the writers," but we both were coming out of a sketch comedy background, so when we pitch a movie, we play every character in the film. You act it out, you perform it - you do a 10-minute performance of the movie.

People love that monkey torture.
