I really think that you can extract a lot of comedy out of really dramatic, intense situations.

Sometimes girls would come in and audition and they'd talk down, and it was like, "No, no, talk to the human eye level."

I'm fascinated in the children within adults.

I'm sort lucky in that for me, I'm a writer now. I started as an actor but I'm a writer and so things like 'Wilfred' and shows like that are where I escape to.

I really wanted to work in the American industry because it's the leading industry. It's where film and television started.

It's always difficult when you want to do something really new, and you also want it to reach the masses, because the majority of people want to see what they've already seen before, or that they're already familiar with. To open the majority of peoples' minds to something new is difficult.

I've always been fairly confident in my acting.
