The Idea Of Playing A Part Where

With The Films I've Done, I've Written On Them, I've Acted In Some Of Them. And Even Ones I Haven't Acted In, I've Acted Them Out Just To Be Sure Another Actor Can Do Them.

Usually I Don't Like To Act In Movies That I Direct Because It's Kind Of Confusing.

I'm A Huge Fan Of Jonathan Winters. He's Influenced Everyone Who's Ever Done Improvisational Comedy. You Look To Jonathan Winters For Inspiration. He Paved The Way. If You've Ever Made Up Something On The Spot And Made Somebody Laugh, You Can Credit Jonathan Winters With Inspiration.

I Was Certainly A Child Of The '60s, And I Came Out Of That Era, And As A Young Actor, I Got Cast As A Lot Of Counterculture Hippie Types.

The Movie Studios, They Only Like To Make - I Make A Joke, But It's True - If The Movie Has The Word "man" And A Number In The Title, They'll Make It. If It Doesn't Have That, It's An R-rated Raunchy Comedy, And That's It. Any Other Movie That You're Going To Make Is Going To Be An Independent One. So For Filmmakers Who Want To Do Something Other Than "man" And A Number, It's Either Independent Films Or Television, Which Is Like The Place For Real Creative Filmmakers To Go.
