When You're Making Your 20th Movie, It

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

Every Joke Is An Experiment. When You Sit, Alone, And Write A Script, Or Just A Joke, You Really Have No Idea If It Will Succeed.

I've Made Movies On Every Part Of The Spectrum, And You Do Understand When You Go Into Certain Movies That You're Trying To Elicit A Certain Kind Of Response From The Audience, And People Get A Real Sense Of Satisfaction When They're Rooting For A Character And The Character Pulls It Off.

I've Come To Believe That The Simpler The Title, The Better. Whenever I Try To Get Cute With It, It Seems To Be A Problem But If It's Just The 40-year-old Virgin, People Seem To Know What They're In For.

Sometimes A Story Idea Will Come To Me, And Suddenly I've Figured Out The Whole Thing, And I Feel Like I'm Collaborating With Something Other Than Myself.
