Comedy Always Works Best When It Is

I Would Say That I Began With A Very Edgy, Very Driven Personality And After A Sufficient Amount Of Therapy Over Many, Many Years, I Managed To Become Rather Relaxed And Happy.

But Then Acting Is All About Faking. We're All Very Good At Faking Things That We Have No Competence With.

Political Correctness Is A Bit Like A Granny, A Maiden Aunt Arriving At A Party When Everyone's Having A Good Time. And She Comes In, They All Start Sort Of Buttoning Up And Becoming Self-conscious And Behaving Properly And Then When She Leaves, You Can Have Fun Again.

I Have A Tendency Sometimes To Get Too Logical With What I'm Writing, Just Because I Want It To Be Kind Of Perfect.

On Movies, I Like To Involve The Cast In The Writing Of The Script. I Like To Have A Rehearsal Period, After Which I Do The Last Draft, Which Gives Me A Chance To Incorporate Anything The Actors Have Come Up With During The Rehearsal Period, So I'm Very Inclusive As A Writer.
