You start animating it and you get to Friday and you get to Saturday and you go, 'This is not funny, like we haven't figured something out, scrap it.'
If somebody actually came to me and said, 'O.K., this is it: write your last 'South Park' episodes,' I'd be like, 'No, no, no.'
It's ... just going to be a total trip, and I'm just going to enjoy it, ... Because I'm sure I'll never be back.
I was like, 'We're going to get nominated for an Academy Award for this.' I really was, ... I even told him.
And that's why we don't have a chance to actually win, ... People don't realize (that) it's a different group that nominates you than actually votes for you to win.
It used to reflect a budget. Now 'independent film' means anything under $10 million. That's what people are saying now. But, that's not really true. I think independent films means you did everything independently.
Talk about it, talk about it, and then I physically go write it and come up with the dialogue, and come up with the structure of the scene.
Saying goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it.
In terms of the creative side of it, it's really been a thing where you come up with the funny stuff is usually at a bar or out talking to people or whatever.
Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be.
Even if you're not Christian, just from being in our culture you know Jesus and resurrection and redemption.
The story of Jesus makes no sense to me. God sent his only son. Why could God only have one son and why would he have to die? It's just bad writing, really. And it's really terrible in about the second act.
We find just as many things to rip on the left as we do on the right. People on the far-left and the far-right are the same exact person to us.
I find Mormons adorable. I love Disneyland and old musicals, and, to me, Mormonism fits right in with all of that.
