Comedy Is A Very Delicate Business, Especially

I'd Love To Do A Musical Actually. My Background Is In Music. I Have A Bachelors In Music. I Thought That I Was Going To Be A Composer, Long Ago When I First Started. So It Was Amazingly Fun To Do Those Two Routines In The Film.

I've Always Believed In Populating My Films With Characters Who We Like, Who We Have Some Warmth For, Who Have Warmth For Each Other, Who We Would Like To Hang Out With, Who We Emulate In One Way Or Another. It's Not That They All Get Along, Or That There Aren't Bad People Or People We Make Fun Of. But At The Core, There's A Kind Of Sweetness.

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

The Hardest Thing For Everyone, For The Writer, For The Director And Certainly For The Actors, Is Not To Panic When They're Doing A Certain Line For The Tenth Time Because Everything Ceases To Be Funny After It's Been Repeated.

I Remember When First, Stripes, And Then Animal House Came Out - Which I Was Really Proud Of, Even Though It Was Kind Of Loose And Quite Raucous - There Were Imitative Movies That Were Not Quite As Good.
