All I need is a camera and I'll make things happen.

You can kind of feel when things are going to work out.

I prefer the smaller budget versus the bigger budget because the mentality that goes along with big budget filmmaking doesn't really suit me; the mind-set that money is the answer.

You never really know until you put the movie in front of an audience. I am a big advocate of screenings, which are getting harder and harder to do nowadays.

I'm just calm under fire. I'm not intimidating at all.

I always prefer the big laugh. That is always the objective, especially with a film like Scary Movie 2.

It's rare that you cut out something that is really good. You screen all of it, and when the audience doesn't respond, you cut out whatever is holding the story down.

I'm not on all the time. I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker.

I think a lot comes from having the experience of doing stand-up comedy. It allows you to figure out the psychology of an audience; what things are funny and not.

I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker.

We felt like we had done as much as you can do with the slasher genre. We were trying to find the next group of scary movies that were ripe for parody.

We do nods to Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible because they are popular with our fan base.

I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.

My brothers can be a little out of control sometimes and so somebody has to be able to keep them focused.

People who are innately funny are innately disturbed.

Just making a good movie is hard to do.

I think that if you, as a comedian, are trying to be in people's face, then you've got to come up with new stuff every year. We're in a mass consumption phase where people take things for granted and want things to be instant when these are not things that can be instant.

You do what it takes. It was on me to deliver.

This is really a difficult time to be in films.

The pressures having grown up in this business can be really rough. And it is a testament to you that you have remained focused and NOT lost your mind.
