I'd Like To Think I'd

I'm Thinking Of Doing A Marital Comedy For One Of The Studios, But I Want It To Be So Painful That It'll Have A Profound Effect On Married Couples Who See It Together.

My Characters Aren't Losers. They're Rebels. They Win By Their Refusal To Play By Everyone Else's Rules.

My Job Is To Come Up With Something That You Like And You Agree With That You Would Play Wholeheartedly. If We Disagree, I May Not Be Doing My Job Correctly.

Well, For Me, It's The Relationship Between Comedy And Life - That's The Edge I Live On, And Maybe It's My Protection Against Looking At The Tragedy Of It All. It's Seeing Life In Balance. Comedy And Tragedy Co-exist. You Can't Have One Without The Other. I'm Of The School That Anything Can Be Funny, If Seen From A Comedic Point Of View.

Life Has All Of These Contradictory Feelings And Contradictory Results. People Spend Their Whole Lives Struggling To Get What They Think They Want, And Even If They Get It, They Find That It's Either Not What They Wanted, Or It Comes With So Many Unwanted Consequences. We're Always Shut Off From Pure Joy.
