We All Wish We Could Be In

No Matter What I Have To Say, I'm Still Trying To Say It In Comedic Form.

I Have A Great Respect For The Moviegoing Experience. It's Such A Unique Thing. You're Not Getting Up And Walking Around The House Or Flipping Channels During The Dull Parts. You're In A Dark Space, And The Movie Fills Most Of Your Field Of Vision. You're Surrounded By Sound, And The Colors Are Deeply Saturated, And Faces Are Fifteen Feet High. If It's Done Well, You're Really Going To Feel Some Big Emotions Or Have Some Big Belly Laughs.

I Look For The Meaning In What's Funny, And I Look For What's Funny About Things That Are Meaningful To Me.

Once You're Alienated, You're On Your Own. That Takes You To The World Of The Existential, Where Things Just Kind Of Float.

My First Few Films Were Institutional Comedies, And You're On Pretty Safe Ground When You're Dealing With An Institution That Vast Numbers Of People Have Experienced: College, Summer Camp, The Military, The Country Club.
