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 do have a couple of pets, but I am determined to keep them out of the media spotlight.

It's great to write for actors when you know who they are. I think I prefer it.

I always found it really funny when actors would come offstage, smoking cigarettes and swearing at each other.

You can maybe be artistic and really original and creative, but as long as it's got that funniness at the root of it, then certain people are going to love it just because they need a laugh.

Eventually, I want to be a creative producer that isn't in things. The acting is more of a secondary thing for me now.

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.
