I Hate To Lull The Audience Into

What's Great About Being A Character Actor Is You Know That You Can Survive Forever. It's Not About The Gloss Of Your Eyebrows.

Comedy Is A Weird Thing. You Have To Understand, It's The Weirdest Thing You Can Do. There's No Consensus. It's Not Like... People Say, "i Saw Saving Private Ryan, And That Scene On The Beach Is Just So Moving." I Can't Imagine Anyone Who Would Say "i Don't Find That Moving!" But You Can Show, Whether It's Laurel & Hardy Or The Three Stooges Or Jiminy Glick In Lalawood, Some People Are Going To Look At It And Say "that's The Funniest Thing I've Ever Seen." Some People Will Say "i Don't Get It." Who's Right, Who's Wrong?

I've Done Lots Of Improv Things But Not A Whole Movie.

All The Actor Does Is, He Tries To Get As Many Takes As He Can Out Of The Director That Day. So He Can Walk Away And Say To Himself, "hey, It's In There. I'm Not Going To Edit It. I'm Not Going To Make Those Choices. If They Want To Blow It, It's Fine. But I've Done All I Can." You're Right. I'm Always Amazed When Actors Bash Films As If Those Grips And That Cinematographer Didn't Work Hard Enough.

All You're Trying To Do In An Improvisation Is Get As Much Material As Possible For The Editing Room.
