We all write, but the script is a blueprint. We can lose whole scenes when we're shooting.

Women don't like advice. They don't want you to fix their problems, they just want you to listen.

We like writing with each other; it's fun.

Now we have to hit them from a different angle.

You lose your privacy, and sometimes, people don't see you as human.

You have to step up to the plate, and then hit one out of the park.

For Scary Movie 2, we had a due date and had to work fast. And though there's a lot of pressure, as artists, we just block it out. So really, the pressure comes from us. That's how the first movie happened. There was no outside pressure: we wanted to hit the audience hard.

We did a lot of press for the last film and now for this one. We don't rest on our laurels.

If you keep up with pop culture, everybody knows the joke.

We pay homage to the people who came before, doing satires, like Mel Brooks; we're just carrying the torch.

We have always had gross humor. But we try for funny, not gross.

There were challenges with production because of the special effects. There are just some things that, although written, special effects just isn't able to do.

We definitely have our finger on the pulse. You have to keep up. We decide what to watch by what's funny.

I knew when I was 6. I just knew it; I didn't care about nothing else. If I didn't make it in this world, I would probably be homeless. I gave myself that little to fall back on.

We still have that same burn, to get that same kind of laughs. So whether the studio wants us to or not, we're going to do it. The money is just a byproduct of coming out with good stuff. Our whole thing is building that rapport with the audience.

Any time something does that well, you gotta follow up.

They'll say, That's funny, but you can't do that on TV.

We all write, but the script is a blueprint. We can lose whole scenes when we're shooting.

A lot of the jokes had some build-up to some nasty stuff. But most of it was all character situations leading to what the ultimate payoff would be for that character.

We have always had gross humor. But we try for funny not gross.

We learned pretty early on in this band that you can't have snobbery in music.

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Dont wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen you will fill the world with hope you will fill yourself with hope.

Marriage is survived just on the basis of ordinary etiquette, day in and day out. Also cooking together helps a lot... I've seen all these marriages that failed. Those people are always hollering at each other. That doesn't work.

I'm a trained lawyer, after all, so I don't have to admit to anything.

I am very comfortable travelling and going into other territories.

Do your homework and know your business better than anyone. Otherwise someone who knows more and works harder will kick your ass.

Meeting Chet was a life changing moment for me.

A good deed is like peeing in your pants. Everyone knows you did it but only you can feel its warmth.

Everyone in New York is fluid and thinking and inspiring each other.

I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the greatest flights of art.

An artist doesn't necesetharily have to get acclaim from the outside. Maybe it is much better if he can get validation from within.

There are no right of wrong answers in goal setting. What works for you.

My favorite role is mommy. I know that sounds cheesy to people who don't have kids, or there are even some moms who think it's cheesy. It's a role you can't prepare for; it's a role you don't get paid to do, but it is the most rewarding role, and to me, it's been the most fulfilling.

The studio part, to me, can be pretty laborious. You're inside for hours on end and can be pretty frustrating to get the sound you hear in your head to come out of those speakers.

The first music I was ever exposed to was Irish folk music, like the Clancy Brothers. My father plays that and Christmas songs.

You have to be passionate about something other than yourself!

If you can't stand the heat in the dressing room, get out of the kitchen.

I've got a great team around me. They keep me working hard; they keep me focused.

People are used to streaming and binge-watching. When they see an author they like, if there's only one book, even if they like the book, they're going to forget about you. The way to keep you in their mind and to get you to become a habit for these readers is you have to have a lot of product out there for them to read.

I was quite excited, but I was sure I wouldn't win the race. I am a realist.

I've broken my nose, I've broken ribs. You name it. In fact, we just got back from South America, and I fell over a monitor speaker on the stage and almost ended up in the front row of the audience. I managed to sprain my wrist on that one but luckily nothing was broken.

The reason Buddhism can be so naturalised is because, stripped of its supernatural elements, its core teachings can be giving a sound, secular philosophical interpretation. In other words, it becomes a religion acceptable to the contemporary, naturalistic mind only when it ceases to be a religion.

With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.

Congress must also enact pro-growth policies that encourage the economy to expand: like making tax relief permanent and repealing the death tax.
