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

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

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.

The best thing that happened during the filming of Out Cold is that I forged a friendship with Lee Majors that endured for almost 12 weeks.

I guess I considered myself just sort of a sketch comedian, you know? Actual screenwriting hadn't really occurred to me as a viable job - I didn't really know anything about it.

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.

You hate to see yourself do one draft of a script and then have somebody else come back in and change what you've done.
