Being a working person who works for the studios. It's a minefield and there's tons of stuff you need to know. And people mess it up all the time.

I need to be spontaneous sometimes. Sometimes I find that the little detail or nuance that you add to it that's based on what's happening at the time that's not very rehearsed often ends up feeling like the funniest thing.

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

Don't write something that is your passion project because all it will do is get the passion stomped out of you.

When you do a movie in the studio system, there's a committee. A committee of six or seven people you answer to. There's two or three producers, a studio executive and one or two people above that studio executive.

Waiting for opportunities in the entertainment industry is an impossibility; they are not coming. You have to make your own.

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