Comedy is like music. You have to know the key and you have to find players with good chops.
From Christopher Guest
Most films, when you finish as an actor, you just go home.
The movies have a way of seeping out there over time. We don't put them in 2,000 theaters. It wouldn't work that way.
The reason I work with the same people, it's not just an accident.
What's interesting about Laurel and Hardy is that in most comedy teams, there's a straight man, and then there's the funny guy. And with Laurel and Hardy, they're both the funny guy.
Ninety-nine percent of television shows, I've never seen.
Peter Sellers is my great comedy hero.
I watch mostly documentaries and things that aren't remotely funny.
It's infrequent that that happens - great performances and magical cinematography and great direction.
I read kind of serious books about fairly arcane subjects.
