I've been fortunate. I get to write films. I get to write music in films. I get to play arenas wearing a wig.

You can't improvise without a skeletal structure; you can't just go in and start talking. This is a very misunderstood craft because no one else makes movies like this.

The truth of it is that people are not going to want to go to improvisational theater if it's not funny. You can succeed in doing all the things you're supposed to do - be truthful to scene - and if it's not funny, I'm telling you that no one's gonna care.

Music means a great deal to me.

I get asked, 'Who would you really like to work with?' I'm already working with them. Smart, talented, funny people, good musicians, an extended family, good friends.

In the kind of films that I do, there is an extremely limited number of people that can improvise. The reason the ensemble continues in the movies is because those are the people that can do that kind of work. It's not just an accident those people are in the film.

I like to play music, and I like to be funny, so I just do both at the same time.

It's infrequent that that happens - great performances and magical cinematography and great direction.

I would overhear these conversations of people who show purebred dogs. They spoke about them as if they were their children.
