Anda harus bersedia gagal dengan improvisasi. Anda harus tidak peduli.

I want to see Brian Williams with no irony wearing a mustache.

Basically, we used to have a rule at 'Saturday Night Live' that you're not allowed to bring up 'The Simpsons' at the rewrite table, because 'The Simpsons' has done every joke there is. Every week there would be guys going, 'The Simpsons did that.' I go, 'C'mon.' And 'South Park,' too.

I love action movies.

I love 'The Wire;' that's my favorite show, so I'll watch that.

For 'Breaking Bad,' people were with Walter White for 99% of that show, even though that guy is a monster.

I actually opened for Chris Rock at the Funny Bone one time.

You're not a slave to those test audiences.

All we have is our vote. But it's powerful.

You need the audience to go on the ride with you. You can't just isolate them.

Benito Mussolini created the word 'fascism.' He defined it as 'the merging of the state and the corporation.' He also said a more accurate word would be 'corporatism.' This was the definition in Webster's up until 1987 when a corporation bought Webster's and changed it to exclude any mention of corporations.

For my money, I don't think there's been a better comedy than 'Kung Fu Hustle' in a lot of years. That movie just knocked me over.

A lot of shorts spend too much time setting up the idea; sometimes they meander.

Orang tua dengan telepon tua. Itu tidak pernah tidak lucu.

Nothing is more enjoyable for me than when I'm watching a movie or a TV show and there's that sense that anything can happen. It is the most fun feeling in the world.

Yang bisa Anda lakukan sebagai sutradara adalah mengatur nada.

I'll tell you one thing... no doubt about it, my favorite kind of comedy is talking head comedy. I mean, if it were up to me, I'd do a whole entire movie that was just around a dinner table.

I was a huge fan of comedy in high school.

I got the sense that Alabama is a place where people don't want handouts and don't much care for people talking out of the side of their mouth.

You can't really do a big character in an action film; you're already suspending your disbelief in the action, then to suspend your disbelief in the character is too much.
