I made my living in comedy, but I’m not a silly person. I’ve got all these sides to me. Even in my movies that I’ve written myself, the characters sometimes border on great anger or nutsiness or other kinds of behavior. I’m not just doing fart jokes for two hours.
I was interested in the human journey, the conundrum of when the right and wrong of both sides get murky. You have to make some very strong choices that you’ll have to live with.
