I Had Envisioned Doing Comedy

It's Incredibly Fun To Play Someone That You Don't Like. It Exorcises Your Own Demons In A Way. It's Cathartic. We All Have Things That We Don't Like About Ourselves, Little Things. And I Get To Amplify Those Things And Put Them Out There. It's Fun And It Has A Cleansing Effect.

I Worked As An Assistant Editor, Actually, For A Few Years. That Was Right When I Was Just Starting To Get Out At Night And Do A Lot Of Stand-up, Improv, And Sketch Work In New York. It Really Is Invaluable. I Think It Pounded Into Me An Awareness Of What An Editor Wants And Needs, In Terms Of Clarity Of A Moment, Where And When To Start And Stop A Line.

As Much As You Do Get Beat-up Doing Even Small Action Sequences, It's Incredibly Fun.

I Think That Music At Inappropriate Times With Inappropriate Volumes Can Be The Funniest Thing Ever.

So Long As Your Desire To Explore Is Greater Than Your Desire To Not Screw Up, You're On The Right Track.
