I guess 'The Player' was a pretty good L.A. movie. And 'Chinatown.' Was there ever a better L.A. movie about a certain period in L.A.? That was terrific.

Even though my father was a radio comedian, it wasn't cool to say, at a young age, 'I want to be a comedian.'

My mother was supportive without knowing it. Deep down she wanted all the right things, she just didn't see the world like I did, and she's not supposed to.

If you look at the best-seller list for American fiction, they're all sequels to detective stories or stories about hunting serial killers. That's what's called American fiction these days.

Acceptance is going to a restaurant where the salad's not great, but the steak is fine.

I've always felt like I work in a small little area that doesn't represent anything like the rest of society.

You know, I became a director out of necessity. I was writing comedies, and I couldn't find anybody to deliver it correctly.
