There are very few solid family films. A lot of the writing is awful.
From Chevy Chase
It took me 20 years of making movies to learn how to do it.
The idea of trying to write sketches the same way we did on Saturday Night Live every day would be damn near impossible.
It seemed that my brother and I were always fighting in the back seat, and there was never any real reason for it.
All those car battles with my brother Ned were excellent training. Even now, on the set, if we're getting into a vehicle, I'll yell 'shotgun' first. Thus forcing Steve Martin into the back of the car.
I did comedy and parody television in the '70s. I was a liberal Democrat, and it was a very heady year.
Parodies came about because Mr. Ford was actually one of the better athletes of our presidents... but he continually had physical accidents... he was an easy target for me. The main idea was to get people laughing.
All preconceptions when you laugh go out the window. Laughter kills it.
Be Funny. Be naturally funny. If you're not, get out of the business. Be compassionate.
I've usually had two styles: the Fletch character and the Clark Griswold character.
