When writing comedy, you have to have the confidence to believe that there is only one type of relationship in the world, and we are all having it, that all men behave in the same way and so do all women.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of exaggeration and generalization in comedy writing. To create humor, the writer must have the courage to portray relationships in a simplistic manner, assuming that all men and women behave in predictable ways. This approach relies on the audience's ability to recognize and relate to common behaviors and stereotypes, enabling them to find the humor in the comedic situations presented. By disregarding the complexities and individuality of relationships, this quote suggests that comedy can be derived from the shared experiences and assumptions we have about men and women in society.
