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

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

Books are great for if you want to work on the craft of writing for yourself, or, you know, to write novels or indie films, stuff like that.

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.

It's such a great thing to work with people and not have a plan.

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

If you just want to be a writer, I don't care, for pitching, for writing dialogue, you should take an improvisation class. It's super important.
