Q: How did you get into the mind of the animals?īW: I actually went out and lived with some woodland creatures for about three weeks. That’s the answer to the puzzle they confronted us all with. At the end of the day, all this sh*t that we went through that was anxiety causing and vulnerability and lost in the woods and all that all goes away because you hear people laughing. And then they show you a rough cut of the film and it’s like someone has just done the most complicated Euclidian geometry problem and gone, “Here is the answer.” And you know why? Because everybody’s laughing. We had to wait almost three years to see if we were funny. You’re not alone.īW: There’s an immediacy to knowing whether you’re funny or not. If you get out there, go, “Hey, what’s up? I’m in Brooklyn tonight, right? No? There’s an audience somewhere waiting for me.” But it isn’t. WS: Yeah, if you’re alone doing standup, that show is cancelled. You have nothing to ground you, nothing to connect you. GS: She’s going to tell you, you’re not alone when you’re doing standup. Q: Was it at all like doing standup, being alone? I was naked and there were about a hundred people there. GS: I don’t know what this alone thing is. He had a whole different experience.īW: I saw some of that. I think they thought that that’s when I really stunk it up. I had it on one time and it was uncomfortable so I just did it in my underwear. I think it didn’t work out for you to do the lines in your big turtle shell. I said, “Can I wear the shell that Garry wears?” They had this big human shell when we first started out. Why are you taking stills? Are we doing everything at once? Can’t I wear something?” It’s what everybody’s doing except you had underwear on.īW: There was only one time really. I said, “Is this what everybody’s doing?” They said “yeah” and I said, “What is this flash camera? Don’t sit there, help me. GS: You guys are lucky you got to wear underwear. WS: They really made me stand in my underwear. Normally you have the other actors in the room and there’s a give and take, especially in comedy. It’s like standing there in your underwear. It was very stressful.īruce Willis: It’s really hard.
I’ve never had a character that actually had an arc so it was like, “I might have to act.” I’ve never done that before. People hire me to come in and just be me and just deliver a joke. Wanda Sykes: It was difficult for me because I was trying to find the voice for this character. Q: How hard was it to do these recording sessions all by yourself?
