I don't think you can teach someone how to come up with good characters or a story.

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

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.

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

People kept passing our [ with Robert Ben Garant] script around, and suddenly we had this reputation as screenwriters, which we're not - we're sketch comedy guys.

Nobody in Hollywood ever sets out to make a bad movie ever but about 99% of the time, that's what happens.

I never thought I would write the way that I write for the studios now, which is like, not little novels, but be someone who literally is more like, you know, sometimes I guess we describe, we're more Salieri than Mozart.
