I Don't Think My Sense Of Humor

Everybody Says How Hard Comedy Is, But, When It Comes Time To Honor Things, Whether It's On A Weekly Critical Basis Or Whether It's Award Time, At That Time Of The Year, Comedy Is The Poor, Dumb Child Of Dramatic Work.

Then My First Film Was Something Called Cannibal Girls, Which Sounds Like A Horror Movie But Was Actually Kind Of A Goofy Comedy With Horror Elements. Like A Horror Spoof.

I Believe That Improvisation Is Really Just A Directorial Tool. It's A Writing Tool.

There's Been An Amazing Backlash For The Last Decade In America: Political Correctness. In Many Ways, I Think That, While We've Been Remarkably Violent In Our Media, There's Been A Real Schizophrenia. In Private, On The Internet, And On Public-affairs Shows Or Talk Radio, We're Way More Explicit Than We've Ever Been. But Traditional Hollywood Has Been Much More Frightened Than It Ever Was In The '70s About Presenting Things That Could Be Perceived As Politically Incorrect.

The Real Trick For Me As A Director Is To Make Sure That People Don't Start Pushing Because The Harder You Push As A Perform The Less Funny It Becomes.
