Whatever You Wear, You Have To Own

If You're Not Connected Emotionally To A Story, Then You're Dead. You're Really Just Opening The Door For People To Lose Interest And Their Minds To Wander, For Them To Start Picking It Apart.

I Always Feel In Improv That Nothing Is Ever As Good Once It's Repeated.

The Good Thing Is That I Really Think That American Television Is In Kind Of A Second Golden Age. Even Though There's A Lot Of Reality And All Those Contest Shows, Which Aren't My Kind Of Shows, The Scripted Stuff That's Going On Is So Good Right Now Because Of Basic Cable. Everyone Has Stepped It Up And Realised That People Like Quality.

I'm The Biggest Proponent Of Test Screenings Now. There's Two Ways To Face Test Screenings. For Dramas, I Don't Know If I Would Rely On Them As Much, Although I Still Think You Need Them, Because You're Making A Movie For An Audience At The End Of The Day. But With Comedy... You Could Go Through A Script Or Anything I Ever Worked On, Where You Go, "this Is Hilarious," And You Put It In Front Of People And You Get Nothing. And Then The Other Side Of It, Is Something You're Like, "i Think This Is Really Stupid," And It Gets A Giant Laugh.

A Lot Of Comedies Fall Apart Because They Just Go From Joke To Joke, And The Characters Are All Sort Of Being Crazy Off On Their Own.
