There are atheists and Christians, and there are people in both groups who are a little too heavy-handed.
I grew up Presbyterian, just a basic Protestant upbringing. There were years in my life when I would go to church every Sunday and to Sunday school. Then I just phased out of it.
I went to network on a handful of pilots, and going to network is the most stressful situation anybody can ever be in. You're supposed to be on point, you're supposed to be at the top of your game, the funniest you can be, in about five minutes, in front of people wearing suits who really don't care, and they've probably already picked their person, but they have to see a handful just to satisfy the process.

Now I try to make efforts, you know, I'm just, the best effort I can do is just stay sober myself. I can at least do that.
At times it was difficult, funny, cathartic and also very easy to make because, you know, I just know the subject matter really well.
I never really worked with Chris Farley, I hung out with him, but I had plans... I had big plans... movies... and I was in no hurry.
The new movie I'm working on right now is very autobiographical. It's about a television actor who drinks too much and gets blackballed from the industry, and then he decides to break back in by directing his own movie,
In the front of the boat, you look at it as you have basically two things you have to do,
