My court skills may have atrophied.

I don't think I could write a straight drama.

People are out of their home on a Saturday night or they're at the movies or they're at dinner and a lot of the people who flip on the television are doing just that. They may have never seen your show before and you can't count on to your audience to be there week in and week out.

I've never really told jokes. I'm not good at it.

Some of my high school teachers did remind me that I had an excellent imagination when it came to making up excuses.

But I do believe that in all my shows, I really enjoy the quirky, the eccentric characters, the ones you don't meet every day.

I don't think it's that strange that a show has sort of a bumpy beginning. It's just part and parcel of the process.
