I Am Lazy, But For Some Reason,

I Don't Think That Any Scene [in Pineapple Express] Is Word For Word How You'd Find It In The Script. Some Of It Was Much More Loose Than Others. The Last Scene With Me, Danny [mcbride] And James [franko] In The Diner - There Was Never Even A Script For That Scene. Usually We Write Something, But For That Scene We Literally Wrote Nothing.

I Was, Like, A Brown Belt, Which Is Pretty Good. I Entered A Tournament Once, And I Punched The Guy In The Throat And Got Disqualified. I Realized - I Don't Know If You're Familiar With "karate Kid," But The Bad Guys In That Are Called Cobra Kai, And They're, Like, The Evil Karate Guys. And Then When I Went To The Tournament, I Realized That's What We Were; We Were Like The Cobra Kai Of The Jewish Karate Community.

We Started When We're Around 13 Writing It - Maybe 14. I'm A Little Older Than Evan Goldberg Is, Like, Only Like Six Months. But Like, I Would Say, Like, The General Structure Of The Movie, Like, The Series Of Events Is Very Similar To What It Was When We First Wrote It.

Shutting People Down Creatively Often Doesn't Get The Best Performance Out Of Them.

It's The Weirdest Thing. Evan [goldberg] Was Just Telling Me How Weird It Is That We Won't Be Working On Sausage Party, To Which I Said, "hopefully, We'll Be Working On Sausage Party 2." It Was Almost Ten Years Ago When We Came Up With The Idea.
