My parents were going through a divorce, and I used to go spend all weekend at the movies to get away from it all. There was something about the sameness of the movies. It was a place for me to go to express my emotions, you know, and let it out.

When I was a kid, at Disneyland, they used to sell Animation Cels for $5.00 at a Fantasyland store. They were called Courvoisier Cels. I was too young to be aware of just how cool that really was.

I always wanted to be an actor. I was one of those lucky kids - or cursed kids - who always knew what he wanted to do.

I was directing as a kid in movies, and that was always my strongest interest. When I was under contract at Universal, I conned an editing room out of them and spent my money to rent a camera and shoot film and make some movies.

Comedy is second nature for me.

Comedy becomes intensified in short scenes.

Even the most tragic moments can have moments of comedy.

What I have found that my comedy is doing - and what really drives me - is to sort of bring women together through pointing out why we act so crazy.
