I remember the review from Michael Wilmington in Chicago, and Gene Siskel wrote really smart reviews where I thought, Oh, they totally get what we're attempting to do.

When the entire country was watching one show there was a major discussion happening is it possible for that to happen in a 1 million channel universe?

For me, until I know that the audience really gets what I'm trying to communicate I'm not done.

It was always the most fun thing in the world to think of a joke area and talk about it with someone like Jim Carrey, and then he would get on stage fearlessly and tear the house down. That's something I always enjoyed. It also allowed me to not be terrified.

I am always driven by the terror of humiliation.

No matter how much you love someone, on a bad day, you could say something terrible. All of the little things that you are saving to say, that you're mad about but never express, sometimes come out, all at once. We all have these terrible moments. That's just part of being human.

I didn't want to be a director for hire. It really just took me a long time to learn how to direct and to feel up to the job.

For a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it's the opposite.

When I was very young, I started to make friends with much, much older people. So when I was twenty, my friends were fifty, and I never really went through forty because I would watch them die and I would feel younger. So you make friends with older people and you will always feel young no matter what.

I get literally a physical sensation of low self-esteem that is a result of not engaging the world and getting comfortable that way.

I definitely learned to embrace the quiet moments onstage from Garry Shandling - relaxing and not fighting with the crowd, not raising your voice, not ever trying to win them over.

My way of dealing with the world has always been to make fun of it and observe it but not take part in it.That's how I became a writer. But when you have kids, suddenly you have to be part of things. It leads almost to a breakdown because your whole defense mechanism is now really destructive.

I'm always begging people like James Brooks and Cameron Crowe to come to screenings, to see what they make of it, and they're always ridiculously helpful. They also keep me brave enough to commit to what I'm trying to do. They can be great cheerleaders for risk-taking.

You should look up some of the reviews. The New York Times review is so over-the-top funny. It's hysterical. You should dig it out.

I worshipped guys like Bill Maher, Jay Leno, and Jerry Seinfeld, and was doing my variation of that. But as a young person with no political point of view or life experience, it was as funny as you can imagine.

Nobody's going to like my next movie because they liked Trainwreck [2015]. It has to work on its own, and that keeps it really scary.

If you work on network TV, they want to pick your casts, dictate your story and how your show works. It just becomes creativity by committee, which is never good.

I remember the Time review [on the Hit and Run]said that there wasn't one laugh in it. And I had watched the movie 50 times with audiences, and it always played great. There was certainly a moment where you could tell the audience was like, Wow, this is really getting weird.

'Deadwood.' I could have watched that forever.

Every time I perform in front of people, no matter how well it goes, the next day, I feel humiliated.

As a kid, I was obsessed with the Who. They were the most important band to me. Songs like I'm One helped me get through high school.
