Bad Women's Comedies Are Made By Men

I'm Not A Painter Who's Saying, "i Want People To See My Work When I Die; It Will Be This And That." That's Not Satisfying To Me.

Scripts Are A House Of Cards And You Can't Just Reach In The Middle And Pull Out The Middle Card Because The House Of Cards Will Fall Down. But At A Certain Point You Almost Have To Allow That House Of Cards To Get Knocked Down A Few Times Because You Need To Make It Sturdier. How Many Times Do You Hear, "no, That Doesn't Make Sense," Or "why Would This Happen?" That Was A Mistake. You Shouldn't Have Those Moments, Because The Moment You're Knocked Out Of The Story, Then You're Dead. And All You Can Go Is Moment To Moment,or Joke To Joke. And That's Gonna Wear People Out.

I Was A Standup Comedian, Which Is Kind Of Like Writing And Directing Yourself.

I Always Hated High-school Shows And High-school Movies, Because They Were Always About The Cool Kids. It Was Always About Dating And Sex, And All The Popular Kids, And The Good-looking Kids. And The Nerds Were Super-nerdy Cartoons, With Tape On Their Glasses. I Never Saw 'my People' Portrayed Accurately.

I'm The Biggest Proponent Of Test Screenings Now. There's Two Ways To Face Test Screenings. For Dramas, I Don't Know If I Would Rely On Them As Much, Although I Still Think You Need Them, Because You're Making A Movie For An Audience At The End Of The Day. But With Comedy... You Could Go Through A Script Or Anything I Ever Worked On, Where You Go, "this Is Hilarious," And You Put It In Front Of People And You Get Nothing. And Then The Other Side Of It, Is Something You're Like, "i Think This Is Really Stupid," And It Gets A Giant Laugh.
