I don't think you can teach someone how to come up with good characters or a story.

The more people's money you take to do something, the more inputs you get.

Yes, I am complimented on my work in Kids in the Hall once or twice a week. Its a nice feeling.

I feel like I'm the most well-adjusted character on the show, even though I'm sure the other actors would tell you the same thing about their characters.

That's the other thing about working on movies, the commitment is years. That's one thing that's so frustrating about the process is that it goes on and on and on for years.

If you just want to be a writer, I don't care, for pitching, for writing dialogue, you should take an improvisation class. It's super important.

The first record I bought with my own money was Rio.

I'm always doing what I can to look for and just feel out funny things that are happening in the scene and improvise off of them.

People love that monkey torture.

If you're a studio writer, the funny better be on the page.

Writing studio movies is the best job in the world... it's awesome.

I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.

The more one gets to know of men, the more one values dogs.

True success is the progressive expansion of happiness. It is the ability to express spontaneous joy and share it with others.

General rebellions and revolts of a whole people never were encouraged now or at any time. They are always provoked.

Knowledge and belief are two seperate tracks that run parallel to each other and never meet, except in the child.

For some directors, I'm the actor from hell.

Those who seek the truth run the risk of finding it.

Record companies, I found out, can put out compilations without your permission.

The challenge of nonfiction is keeping the attention of a reader over span of time, and to keep the quality of the writing as high as it needs to be to keep people's attention.

There is no talent so ardently supported, nor generously rewarded, as the ability to convince parasites they are victims.
