Ironically, there isn't much comedy film in Britain, which is quite surprising seeing that we're quite good at it.

I think in most couples or partnerships, there's a constant struggle for power and dominance.

I always think it's just best to just make stuff and to carry on making stuff, even if it's not off your own back, because that's the only way... especially as a comedy writer, I make short films and then show them to live audience, so if they're laughing you know you're doing something right.

When I was a kid the highlight of my week would be doing a fossil hunt at the local quarry... that kind of thing.

I think what's difficult is proving to people that a script actually does work and sometimes the laughter might not be on the page, it might be between the lines.

If you can make someone believe that you believe in the idea then I think that's worth a lot.

Growing up, I didn't feel very cool having come from the Midlands.
