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.

The acting is more of a secondary thing for me now. I will be in it, if I'm the best man for the job, but it really is about creating characters and shows.

I think that you can make a drama and have it be intensely funny, and vice versa.

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

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

I want to do different projects and be versatile. I don't want to get fixed into narrative comedy.

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