I never pay any attention to figures.

They're a typical Hollywood audience. All the kids are on drugs and all the adults are on roller skates.

I live in a Spanish-style hillside home in Los Angeles, California. I paid $900,000 in 1995. It's perhaps worth about $3m now. Thankfully, I paid off my mortgage before the crash because I could see it coming. I worried that I would be caught having to pay off a very high mortgage for a house I couldn't sell.

I don't necessarily know much about comedy, I don't spend a lot of time watching it. Mainly because all my life for about 50 years I've had comedy.

I pay taxes in three countries, but can't vote in any of them.

I listen to the audience and try and bounce with them. All audiences are different. But they are all homo sapiens.

Writers tend to suffer from back problems because they spend their time bent over a desk.
