If you're a studio writer, the funny better be on the page.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I write in the studio.
When I get into the studio, I write from my heart.
You really have no idea whether or not what you're writing is funny. In stand-up and sketch comedy, you know right away and you can make your changes accordingly.
I have a rough idea when I walk into a studio though.
You don't just go to the studio and say, 'I'm going to write a hit.' It becomes a hit when people like your compositions.
We all know funny people who can't get it down on the page - even funny writers who can't get it down on the page.
Too many writers get stuck in the trap of writing what they think is funny and not considering who they are writing it for.
They're mostly done before we went into the studio, although I do like writing in the studio.
I don't have a job, so I sit in the studio all the time and think of stupid stuff to do.
I just go in the studio and write on the spot and see what comes out.
