I have to be really careful, because I have nothing but love for this entity known as "the customer" in entertainment. I would never, ever, ever put myself above them and say, "They don't get it, but it's funny, believe me." If they're not laughing, I'm doing my job wrong.

I was playing the game where I was going to be a great TV or film writer some day and there was nothing else that I thought about, including other people.

I wish that television would stop selling our hatred of ourselves, and start seducing us with our love of ourselves.

Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.

I expect the audience to assume TV is stupid. I accept that it's my job to overcome it.

I feel like my life has always been the 'Hey Look at Me Show.' I'm not apologetic about that.

I've never done well when I've been appreciated. I've done best when I'm targeted for death.
