There's not many good comedies to watch - you know, comedies that make you glad you watched them.

Nobody remembers how long anything takes; they only remember how good it was in the end.

The most exciting thing I aspire to do is to write something new that I know is going to work, or perform something that I know is going to make people laugh.

Different people have different styles, but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment, with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision, and everything can be obsessed over.

'The Office' is less a comedy than so many other "comedies" that have been on the air. It's really about the balance between what is real and what is comic.

I'm a believer in trusting the director.

Battered Women: sounds delicious. Doesn’t make it right.
