SETH ROGEN INTERVIEW-TMZ
Seth Rogen recently sat down for an interview with TMZ
TMZ-Seth, you've just completed your 6th movie in 7 weeks, what is your secret formula you have that makes you such a prolific film maker?
Seth-Several things, 1st I am Jewish. 2nd, the average movie goer has the sophistication of a retarded 14 year old, so there is no need for complex scripting or plot line or for that fact any humor. 3rd, standards in today's society have completely eroded. That's why a fucking hack like Stephen King gets considered for a Pulitzer Prize! Finally, fat, ugly and stupid are "in".
TMZ-Your new movie is "Funny People" with Adam Sandler, can you tell us about it?
Seth-Adam and I wrote this in about 12 minutes. We decided to use Adam's writing method on this movie. Now, when I write a movie, I like to include one funny line every 10 minutes. This means I have about 8 jokes or funny scenes per movie. Now Adam said that is a total fucking waste of time and effort. His method is to use 3 jokes per movie. 1 at the beginning, 1 in the middle and 1 at the end. The one at the end is the most important as this will guarantee that you will get a sequel.
TMZ-You progressed from doing comedy writing to acting. Did you take acting lessons, if you did, from who?
Seth-It really isn't such a leap from bad writing to bad acting. But I did 2 things to help me in my move to 'in-front' camera work. First, I hung around a school for retards to inspire me and to raise my skill level. Then I went to stay with Will Farrell, to be brutally honest, it was hard to tell the difference between the school for retards and the Farrell family, except the retards were much more intelligent, classy and logical.
TMZ-Finally, do you have any words of inspiration for young people who want to succeed in this business?
Seth-I can't stress this point enough, if you are a "goy" your fucked, convert as soon as possible. And if you are of the Jewish persuasion, all I have to say is look at me and you know you can make it. I'm soft, dumpy and have the personality of a weasel. What's more, I have already shot my wad as far as comedy writing goes. I mean, my movies can only get worse and I am getting laid, blown and paid millions. Take a look at todays leading men-me, Will Farrel, Jack Black, Shia Lebeouf and guys like that. We were the ones at school that never got kissed, let alone laid, got butt-fucked in the shower room, spit on by the teachers, told we were losers by our own fathers. Now we're rich, famous and can be seen with these gorgeous babes on and off the screen. Would that make them whores? Who gives a fuck. Just go for it dudes.
TMZ-Thanks Seth, its been a education. Don't miss Seth's next 4 movies, although they are still in the writing stage, all should hit the theaters by the end of summer "Funny People 2, 3, 4, & 5".
