Quote

I wrote for Roseanne. I wrote her stand-up act with her. I wrote with Tom Arnold. There was a period when I was working with them pretty steadily. But I would take brief gigs here and there.

I started a radio show where I interviewed comics. And I interviewed Leno and Seinfeld and John Candy and Father Guido Sarducci and Garry Shandling, all when I was 16. And they kind of told me what to do.

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.

People talk about universal intelligence ... I'm reticent to believe almost anything, just because my parents weren't religious at all, but that's when I feel it. People talk about being in the flow.

When you're making your 20th movie, it might be the 20th most incredible thing that's ever happened to you!

Penn [Jillette] and Teller and I get along very well. We can call each other and say, I'm working on this classic effect. Please, I'd like to do it for a while. We'll all respect it. There are people we don't get along with, but mostly there is a respect amongst the group.

I still feel like a weird kid who is about to take a punch in the face. So, I think it's permanent.

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.

Nowadays, when kids decide they like an artist, they'll absorb everything that artist has ever done in a single night.

Parents don't realize that when they teach you about the Holocaust too early, it ruins you for life.

Humor is his defense mechanism, so that would allow me to talk about some serious subjects, but get a lot of hilarious jokes in.

The ones [comedies] that I always liked, whether it's Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, or Fast Times of Ridgemont High, they were all about two hours, or a little bit over two hours. With that extra 15 or 20 minutes, you can get to real character and you're not just stuck in plot.

I don't really get attached to anything. I'm pretty brutal about cutting stuff. With each successful movie, I've discovered anything that's not connected to the immediate story is going to be cut out of it.

All of my jokes were about not being able to meet anybody. I didn't have any insight into anything - even my own insecurities.

There are only so many hilarious actors so when they cross-pollinate, people assume it's always the same actors and directors.

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.

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.
