I always thought that Bill Murray was one of the great actors that I've worked with. And I've worked with all kinds of people who are known primarily for their dramatic work.

I've always been a fan of science fiction films, and I've never been able to put my particular spin on it.

I always see things that I can improve. But frankly with Stripes, I'm surprised at how effective it is, even today, and how vibrant that movie is and how juicy the performances all are.

I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.

I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.

It's been about 15 years, and I've never really worked seriously in CGI and I thought that here was an opportunity to do the kinds of things that I was not able to do on Ghostbusters.

I don't think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse.

Also watching a movie on DVD is different than watching it in the theater.

My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form.

I think Junior is certainly a science fiction premise as is Twins, as is Dave, beyond Ghostbusters.
