Ill Give You An Idea

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.

I Have A Kind Of Objective Luxury About My Career.

There Was An Era When People Would Turn On Their Radio And Hear A Radio Drama. Now, You Could Be As Scared By That As Seeing It Filmed. In Those Days, People Used To Sit By The Fire And Imagine What They Were Hearing. Everything Is Its Own Art Form.

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 Think I've Been Really Lucky To Keep My Career So Varied, And To Be Open. There's Safety In Repetition, But There's Also A Trap There.
