commercial continue extent full love rent sell strongly york
As artists, we'd all love to not be commercial - to not sell out to the full extent that we are able. But you do what you have to do to pay New York rent and continue to do what you feel strongly about.

'Terminator 2' is so good. I love it.

I love 'Bullets Over Broadway,' but I'm pretty sure Woody Allen hasn't killed somebody.
acting era felt great heard love people played seeing seinfeld suddenly terms
In terms of comedy, there was a Seinfeldian era of comedy that I love but got played out. Seinfeld was great, but then after him it was people acting like Seinfeld and making observations that we felt like we'd kind of heard before, and then you're seeing Seinfeldian comedy in commercials. Suddenly everything is observational funniness.

I love pizza. I want to marry it, but it would just be to eat her family at the wedding.
content love mouth realizing
I would say that I love pizza so much that sometimes I eat pizza while I'm eating pizza. Like, I'm so content with myself with how it's going that I'm like, 'I should do this more,' not realizing that the mouth is full. I'm just cramming pizza into my mouth.

I'm going to end up making twenty films if people let me.

I'm a comedian, and the other comedians are played by comedians, the same way that in 'Once' there are the musicians that hang out together.
generally home travel week
I'm generally so disoriented during the week about what I'm doing and where I am - I travel a lot - that when I'm home on a Sunday, I typically try to sleep in as much as I can.
bit broadway exact unable ways
I'm unable to do the thing that Broadway actors do in plays, sometimes for years. The same exact blocking, the same exact lines. I'm a little bit uncomfortable with that. Every night I'm looking for ways to try something else.
audience funny influenced interview jerry listened note seinfeld starting tells
I listened to this interview once with Jerry Seinfeld that really influenced my comedy and all of my writing, which is that when you're starting out in comedy, it's the audience that tells you what's funny about you. And you need to listen to that and make a note of that.
los planet
I've found, being in Los Angeles, it's like living in a live-action Planet Hollywood.
