The First Comedy Screenplay That I Wrote

Most Comedy Is Not Very Ambitious. You Probably Can't Name More Than A Handful Of Comedies That Would Qualify For Best Picture.

The Child Says, "well Geesh, The Institutions That I'm Supposed To Respect - The Church And The Government - They're Telling Me Things That Don't Appear To Be True. Either I'm Crazy Or They're Crazy." That Creates The Absurd Child. The Absurd Child Is One Who Says, "well, I Think They're Crazy." So You Live In This State Of Alienation From Your Culture And Your Society And Your Family Because You See This Rampant Bullshit Around You.

As An Actor, You're Completely At The Mercy Of Other People. You Basically Go Begging For The Opportunity To Work. As A Writer, At Least Nobody Can Tell Me What To Do. I Can Write What I Want. I Might Not Sell It, But At Least I'm In Control.

No One Will Laugh At How Great Things Are For Somebody.

If People Offer Me Decent Roles In Good Films, Of Course I'll Take It. But I Just Didn't Like The Actor Lifestyle. You End Up Focusing All Your Energy On Trying To Get Parts You Don't Even Want.
