I've Never Been To A Class Reunion

Women's Humor Seems To Be A Little More Supportive. It's Just Kind Of Trying To Make The Other One Laugh Through Funny Voices And Kind Of Talking About Other People. I Respond To That. I Feel Less Like I'm Going To Get Beat Up In A Room Full Of Women Than I Do In A Room Full Of Guys.

So Many Stars Who Have Shows Are Intimidated By Having People Around Them Be Funnier Than Them. It's Always The Unsuccessful Ones. Look At Seinfeld - He's Great Because He Let Everyone Be Hilarious.

Everyone Takes Pause At 40. It's The Age You Have To Assess Everything In Your Life. It's The Fictitious Marker That's Always Coming Up When You're Young. The World Really Does Look At You To Kind Of Have It Together By 40, And Be Successful By 40. Whatever Success Means.

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.

What I Do As A Director Is Really Create A Safe Environment That Everyone Can Feel Very Comfortable In And Experiment Within So That They Don't Hold Back Anything. You Never Ever Want Someone To Go, 'oh I Shouldn't Have Done That.' There Isn't Anything You Shouldn't Try. If It's Terrible, Who Cares?
