I think as a director you have to make it your own. It’d be a mistake to approach a project with the idea of ‘I’m going to do this the way I think somebody else would,’ because then you’d never be clear on your idea. Cheryl Hines Read Quote
I would direct TV. That’s a little different. It’s more of a contained world as a director. When you’re doing a film you get on the rollercoaster, you put the safety bar down and then you’re gone. And it’s hard. It’s hard, too, as a parent, I think, because the hours are so long. It’s hard. Cheryl Hines Read Quote
I’m really 100 per cent invested in ‘Suburgatory’ right now – I’m really focused on that and really like taking it all in. It’s so much fun and I just love this character and I love the guys I work with so I’m just enjoying this right now. Cheryl Hines Read Quote
My first job was as a waitress, and I waitressed for a long, long time. I was a very bad waitress. I didn’t care if people had ketchup or if they were allergic to fish. It really didn’t bother me either way. I didn’t care. I was bad, but it was a good way to make money. And it’s a fun job if you are working with fun people. Cheryl Hines Read Quote
Bad, quirky poetry might be better than some of the good stuff, because it really comes from the heart. Cheryl Hines Read Quote
I was a little shocked at how adult some of the humor was, because I was never that into animation before and when I watched ‘Shrek’ I really laughed out loud. Cheryl Hines Read Quote
Once in a while I’ll order an omelet, ’cause I’m not very good at making omelets. Cheryl Hines Read Quote
For me anyway, until I was exposed to doing improvisation and walking onto a stage without any script, I would have never felt comfortable enough to walk into a room with someone like Larry David and audition. Cheryl Hines Read Quote
When I was working with Barry Sonnenfeld, I’d watch him set up a shot and talk to him about what he was seeing and what it was to shoot comedy. He told me that a lot of times with comedy, it’s not just about getting the joke, but getting a reaction to the joke. That’s the laugh – it’s somebody’s else’s reaction to the joke.
