“Your only guidepost is your own instinct and judicious editing. In my stand-up act I learned that in the first 10 minutes I could say anything and it would get a laugh. Then I'd better deliver. In the movie it's the same thing. You get a lot of laughs when people first sit down and then the story better kick in.

“I'm going to be cremated from the neck down. And at my funeral, when people are talking about me, they have to hold my head.
