I Think I've Had Pretty Good Experiences

As A Writer, Or As A Filmmaker, You Have To Present Yourself, And Part Of What Yourself Is Is What You're Interested In, Or What You Think Is Funny, Or What You Think Is Sad, Or What You Think Is Horrible.

Every Day Of Your Life, You Have Information That Enters Your Head, And That Information Informs Your Understanding Of Things, Or Shifts It, Or Changes It, Or Deepens It, Or Confuses You. Every Day, Every Moment Of Every Day - It's Like This Thing That Happens.

I Really Don't Have Any Solutions And I Don't Like Movies That Do.

My Point Of View Comes More From The Literature I've Read And The Comedy Of The Era. When I Was A Kid, Coming Across National Lampoon Magazine, That Was A Big Thing. I Suddenly Felt Like There Were Other People That Felt The Way I Did, And There Was A Way Of Expressing And Communicating This Worldview.

So When I Write Characters And Situations And Relationships, I Try To Sort Of Utilize What I Know About The World, Limited As It Is, And What I Hear From My Friends And See With My Relatives.
