I Think Of Myself As

Groundhog Day Was Pretty Clean. It May Have To Do With Some Puritanical Feeling That Comedy Is A Forbidden Pleasure In A Certain Way. They Make You Laugh, And Laughter Is Somehow An Inferior Emotion To Tragedy.

I Realized That My Righteous Indignation Was A Form Of Entertainment For Me. I Loved Getting Pissed Off At Injustice. I Didn't Do Anything About It, I Just Liked The Feeling Of Being Pissed Off.

Chicago Still Remains A Mecca Of The Midwest - People From Both Coasts Are Kind Of Amazed How Good Life Is In Chicago, And What A Good Culture We've Got. You Can Have A Pretty Wonderful Artistic Life And Never Leave Chicago.

I Loved Writing And Performing, But The Idea Of Doing It For A Living Seemed So Remote. But I Eventually Let It Devolve To The Point Where It Was The Only Thing I Could Do.

I Have A Great Respect For The Moviegoing Experience. It's Such A Unique Thing. You're Not Getting Up And Walking Around The House Or Flipping Channels During The Dull Parts. You're In A Dark Space, And The Movie Fills Most Of Your Field Of Vision. You're Surrounded By Sound, And The Colors Are Deeply Saturated, And Faces Are Fifteen Feet High. If It's Done Well, You're Really Going To Feel Some Big Emotions Or Have Some Big Belly Laughs.
