Movies Are An Expensive Business.

In The Beginning Of Any Career, In Every Job, People Are Always Forcing You To The Middle.

I've Done Performances In Movies That I Was Immensely Proud Of And The Movies Didn't Take Off Like A Rocket At Cape Canaveral, It Didn't Take Off.

In The Course Of My Movies, The Financing And The Releasing Were Always The Tough Part. Because I Loved The Creative, I Loved The Writing, I Loved The Making Of It. Because I Guess, I Never Had The Giant Blockbuster, I Never Got That Sort Of Ease For The Next One. So The Next One Was Always, "how Am I Going To Do This?" And That Thing Was Sort Of Always The Thing That Made Me A Little Chickenshit To Go Into The Next One. The Writing Of It Was Great And The Making Of It Was Great, But How Am I Going To Release This Thing And Am I Going To Find A Studio?

It's Better To Be Known By Six People For Something You're Proud Of Than To Be Known By Sixty Million For Something You're Not.

The World Really Changed After 9/11, Not Just In The Tragic Way, But In Every Way. So It Took Me A Couple Of Years To Even Understand How My Art Form I Could Process Any Of This. When The World Changed, Eliciting Laughter With Subjects That Were Funny To Me Before 9/11 Just Didnt Seem Good Enough.
