carbon-footprint goal planets
My goal is to leave this planet with the biggest carbon footprint I can possibly leave.
swimming tuesday wife
Jerry Lewis has been married twenty times. He gets married on a Tuesday, they find his wife dead in a swimming pool on Thursday. Maybe if you married someone who's old enough to swim next time, Ok Jerry?
life-is-too-short long ive-learned
What I've learned is that life is too short and movies are too long.
nhl world faults
If the world somehow actually ends tomorrow, let all forget about the Mayans and just agree it`s the NHL`s fault
sex writing son
My primary reason for bringing my son on was to have a voice on the show [Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll] that would bring a 25 or 26 year old point of view to it, and my son is very capable of writing that stuff.
teach
You can't teach somebody how to be funny. You're either funny, or you ain't.
mother jobs dad
There is a huge boom in autism right now because inattentive mothers and competitive dads want an explanation for why their dumb-ass kids can't compete academically, so they throw money into the happy laps of shrinks . . . to get back diagnoses that help explain away the deficiencies of their junior morons. I don't give a [bleep] what these crackerjack whack jobs tell you - yer kid is NOT autistic. He's just stupid. Or lazy. Or both.
coffee cups needs
Coffee doesn't need a menu, it needs a cup. That's all it needs! Maybe a saucer underneath the cup — that's it.
giving pages actors
I like to give the actors freedom to take what we have on the page and improve on it. And they do that quite a bit.
drinking drink dies
We drink and we die and continue to drink.
taste meat dams
I eat meat because meat tastes like murder, and murder tastes pretty dam good!
beach nice hamptons
I'm no day at the beach. And if it is a beach, it's Hampton Beach. Ever been there? It's not nice.
editing two trying
I try and shoot as often as a can, I cross shoot. I have at least two cameras rolling at the same time. So I'll have two actors or two sets of actors at a time so everybody's basically on camera. So when they improvise we have everybody's coverage. And you can then go in the editing room and find the energy still stays there.
dog two rehearsal
Certain movies like 'Wag The Dog,' we used improv on every scene that we did. Pretty much, we would shoot from the script and then some stuff that we came up with in rehearsal, and then we'd have at least one or two takes where we completely went off the script and just flew by the seat of our pants.
