I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.

I call it like the domino theory of reality. If you can go one step at a time and it seems to make sense, you can then take your audience into an area that is relatively outlandish.

The home viewing experience is slightly different and there's room for these kinds of extra excursions.

We watch movies about all sorts of things that we don't know anything about, but we do get caught up in the human drama.

Also watching a movie on DVD is different than watching it in the theater.

Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.

My sense is, I think it's okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career.

I always see things that I can improve. But frankly with Stripes, I'm surprised at how effective it is, even today, and how vibrant that movie is and how juicy the performances all are.

I always thought that Bill Murray was one of the great actors that I've worked with. And I've worked with all kinds of people who are known primarily for their dramatic work.

Then my first film was something called Cannibal Girls, which sounds like a horror movie but was actually kind of a goofy comedy with horror elements. Like a horror spoof.

The idiotic industry of an ant building his hill in the path of a glacier, and imagining that he is free.

I always had this thing, when I was younger especially, I didn't want to do movies that much. I found they took a lot out of you and they were exhausting for me in a lot of ways.

There's no great shame in having your nose fixed.

I do not think I could go on living unless I felt that one day I might win the Open Championship at St. Andrews.

We are on God's side. This is not a war between Arabs and Jews. It's a war between God and the devil.

Coming back to Israel is a homecoming.

Every dew-drop and rain-drop had a whole heaven within it.

Pretensions to moral superiority are devastatingly destructive.

For a ballad's a thing you expect to find lies in.

I think writing, my writing, is a species of mediumship. I become the person.
