I just made a movie. There's a kind of a banter that some people might recognize as being screwball. There are no cell phones, no DVD playersit's set in a timeless Brooklyn. Hopefully, it's a good, old-fashioned movie.

Maybe in 10 years,I'll only be doing classical comedy. Or crashing my car into trees.

In my perfect world order, it is cold all the time. Everyone wears sweaters and drinks coffee. People don't speak to each other they read the newspaper. There is no loud music, and cats are in charge.

For me, Twitter works best as a way of taking pictures of being stuck in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. If people really want to read really funny quips about life, parenting, and pop culture, then by all means read Michael Ian Black's tweets.

I'm not sure why I like cats so much. I mean, they're really cute obviously. They are both wild and domestic at the same time.
Michael Showalter
I think narcissists are endlessly watchable. The way they view the world and the way they interact within the world. They have no concept of their behavior or how it might be affecting other people. So comedically, it's a very fun type of character to play. They are bulls in a china shop, twenty-four seven.
Michael Showalter
I like doing all different types of comedy - stand-up, sketch, movies, TV. I like to try everything.
Michael Showalter
I knew that if I was going to write a book, I was going to have to read one, too.
Michael Showalter
Cats are unpredictable because they're wild and domestic at the same time. Watching a cat's behavior is like a small window into the wild.
