The trouble with the jokes is that once they're written, I know how they're supposed to work, and all I can do is not hit them. I'm more comfortable improvising. If I have just two or three ideas and I know how the character feels, what the character wants, everything in between is like trapeze work.

这些笑话的问题在于,一旦写好了,我就知道该怎么写了,而我所能做的就是不打击他们。我更喜欢即兴发挥。如果我只有两三个想法,而且我知道角色的感受,角色想要什么,那么这两者之间的一切就像空中飞人一样。
