I'm no more a lawbreaker than they are , and if they were lawbreakers for keeping God's commandments, they're my example.
Tom GreenIt's exciting to be able to do something completely independent without anybody challenging it, and it's a big part of the reason why I'm enjoying doing the stand-up comedy, is I'm able to go out and interact with people one-on-one after the show. It's very punk-rock.
Tom GreenIt's such a huge endeavor putting a full movie together, especially an independent movie. I tend to kind of do them when they come my way more than something than I go out and actively pursue.

Tom GreenI've always got a whole bunch of things in the works. That's sort of the nature of the business. Even when you're doing something you love doing, you have to be plotting and scheming and writing and preparing for what you're going to do when that's finished.
Tom GreenI don't really like to just sit down at a computer and write because that tends to be a little forced. Sometimes the funniest ideas just happen in the moment, when you're talking to people, or you notice something.
Tom GreenI tend to find comedy in dark places. I also tend to find comedy in taking on the status quo - which has always been something I find important.
