In A Comedy It Helps Enhance Things

Everybody Says How Hard Comedy Is, But, When It Comes Time To Honor Things, Whether It's On A Weekly Critical Basis Or Whether It's Award Time, At That Time Of The Year, Comedy Is The Poor, Dumb Child Of Dramatic Work.

I Remember When First, Stripes, And Then Animal House Came Out - Which I Was Really Proud Of, Even Though It Was Kind Of Loose And Quite Raucous - There Were Imitative Movies That Were Not Quite As Good.

Then My First Film Was Something Called Cannibal Girls, Which Sounds Like A Horror Movie But Was Actually Kind Of A Goofy Comedy With Horror Elements. Like A Horror Spoof.

Movies Either Work Or They Don't Work And They're Either Funny Or They're Not And We Work Very Hard. To Achieve That Kind Of Work Is Really Kind Of Delicate Stitching.

I'm Not Sure I Agree With The Thesis, Because I Think That Even Though Something Grotesque Or Gross Has Been Part Of Film Since Way Back, What We Accept Or What We Can Get Away With On The Screen Is Broader Now.
