- Anyone who thinks they can write the perfect comedy that everyone will love is a fool. I can only write what I think is funny and hope that there is a likeminded audience out there.
- I miss the comedy of the '70s and '80s, like Only Fools and Horses (1981) and Fawlty Towers (1975), so I'm glad I'm put in that category.
- I can only write what makes me laugh, and what makes me laugh is the comedy I grew up on.
- I think with Modern Family (2009), you'll struggle to find anything better. It's brilliantly, brilliantly written.
- If you are writing comedy and try to please everybody, you'll please nobody.
