I Only Direct In Self-defense.

The Thing Is To Be Brave And Move The Audience With You, Instead Of Cater To The Lowest Common Denominator, You Know, Slipping On A Banana Peel And Falling On Your Ass. You Got To Move The Audience A Little Further Ahead In Terms Of Their Appreciation Of What Is Comedy. It's Complicated.

Life Literally Abounds In Comedy If You Just Look Around You.

I'm Always Stunned When I Find Out People Like Roosevelt And Tolstoy Weren't Jewish. How Could I Love Them So Much?

I'll Accept Bad Taste In A Minute, As Long As There's Some Great Comedy Minds And Performances.

You Got To Be Brave. If You Feel Something, You've Really Got To Risk It.
