The Ones [comedies] That I Always Liked,

There Are Only So Many Hilarious Actors So When They Cross-pollinate, People Assume It's Always The Same Actors And Directors.

The Cable Guy Was Underbudgeted, So It Was Always A Debate About Whether We Could Have More Days Or Certain Things That We Needed, Because The Budget Was Determined Before The Script Was Written. So That Made It A Hard Production On Everybody. But It's Also A Funny Thing, Because It's One Of Those Movies That Cost $40 Million To Make And Made $100 Million Around The World, But At The Time, It Seemed Like A Disaster That It Didn't Make Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars, Because Jim Was On Such A Tear. But It Was Actually A Successful Movie.

It's So Funny, All The Similarities That We Have [with David Copperfield] Of Being Obsessed Young People And Finding A Way To Be Around The People Doing What We Want To Do.

I Think, There Were Probably Problems With Show Business Where Producers And Directors Would Try To Get The Writing Credit Also. So They Created A Rule Where The Bar, To Get Your Name Added To The Writing Credits, If You've Done A Revision, Is Very High If You're Also The Producer Or Director.

I Loved The Idea That I Could Write A Joke And Someone Else Would Have To Take The Risk Of Performing It.
