More From Werner Heisenberg

I have become a giant fan of the testing process, especially with a comedy. i mean, they tell you what's funny. it's almost tailor-made for people who shoot the way we shoot, trying a million different options and versions of things. because the audience doesn't laugh at a joke, we put in another joke. if they don't laugh at the next joke, we put in another joke. you just keep doing them and you can get the movie to the point where every joke is funny, if you have enough options in the can.

I keep on repeating something told to me by an american psychologist: "when you are making a joke about someone and you are the only one to laugh, it is not a joke. it is a joke only for yourself." if people are making a joke they have the right to laugh at me but i will ignore them. ignoring doesn't mean that you don't understand. you understand it so much that you don't want to react.

What you never want to do is have a story that doesn't track emotionally, because then you're going joke to joke and you're going to fatigue the audience. the only thing that's going to string them to the next joke is how successful the previous joke is.

The whole point of camp is to dethrone the serious. camp is playful, anti-serious. more precisely, camp involves a new, more complex relation to "the serious." one can be serious about the frivolous, frivolous about the serious.

I love doing theaters, cracking people up, hearing them physically roll in the aisles. but we need to get serious. these are serious times. no joke. no joke.
People Needs Hearing
If i tell a joke on stage and the crowd laughs for a minute, i stand there for a minute and enjoy them laughing before i go on to the next joke. on tv, if i stand there for a minute while they laugh, i look like an idiot who can't remember the next joke.
