The other side talks about being the party of diversity and the party of inclusion, ... And how do they figure this? This is what I want to know, except, unless they define diversity as two guys at the head of the ticket that are from two different oil companies.
For me, if I had all the money in the world, and I could finance my own films, I would do whatever.
I guess as I get older, I'm kind of getting drawn to the things that I really love the most, which is trying to figure out ways of blending politics with humor, and making it interesting. So I don't know if anybody's interested in this stuff, but I like it, so I get involved with it.

Every single person in jail for a violent crime had a nightmare childhood.
I was already interested in directing when I was very young. I knew that was something I was going to be doing.
I think I have a finely tuned sense of humor. I think just being around it and growing up in it... my dad and Mel Brooks and Norman Lear. These are the people I grew up around.
If you've ever made up something on the spot and made somebody laugh, you can credit Jonathan Winters with inspiration.
