I had an approach where everything that's happening it should be as though it's an experience for somebody. So if you're experiencing a hurricane, if you're experiencing a car crash or whatever it is, you're only experiencing as yourself, you're not experiencing it from some objective point of view.
If you're playing things sincere in a really absurd, heightened situation, you'll achieve comedy as opposed to just saying funny lines and one-liners and stuff.
When you are a writer the assist-to-turnover ratio...there are a lot more turnovers than assists. It's just the nature of the beast.
My intention was always to direct and writing things just became convenient and happened.
