1. “Yes, it is a serious business because in order to be funny you have to understand what's going on in the world and you have to know the basic situation in order to make comedy out of it. An ignorant person has to do as kind of a vapid empty headed comedy which says nothing and reflects nothing it's boring to death to me. When you're nineteen and you talk about a love affair it's fascinating to them. When you talk about romance toward seventy year old it's not so fascinating you'd like to hear about how you get rid of this woman who's bothering him all the time.”
