Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with jokes.

Since the Gulf War, since the new World Order, America is now the number one arms dealer in the world.

The other thing is this industry has decided it only has one market. Unlike any other industry in the world, unlike film or books or sports even, this industry has decided it has only one market and that's 14 year old boys.

I mean, price is price. It's just where you want to spend your money.
