thinking moments best-moments
The moment you think of a joke is the best moment.
fighting tv-shows two
The only thing worse than a crappy TV show which Paddy Chayevsky couldn't have conceived in his worst nightmare is two megacorps fighting over who thought of the crappy show first.
thinking should-have magic
I think the story should always determine the visual approach. There are situations where you want things to feel alive and like life, and there are situations that should have some magic and the separation with the grain.
writing thinking bigs
I put on a big show when I write something I think is funny.
guy good-guy live-by
Every day I live by only one rule, be a good guy.
nerd geek
Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.
people supportive different
I'm always surprised when you do something very different that people don't get behind you more, because you're always told, "Take chances! Stretch!" And when you do it, sometimes people get really supportive and excited, but sometimes people go at you because you've tossed out the formula.
trying done communicate
For me, until I know that the audience really gets what I'm trying to communicate I'm not done.
fun school college
College is the reward for surviving high school. Most people have great fun stories from college and nightmare stories from high school.
giving people trying
Don't be a jerk. Try to love everyone. Give more than you take. And do it despite the fact that you only really like about seven out of 500 people.
