I don't get that many scripts. Back in Australia, I've pretty much done my own shows and really no work outside of that. It's only now that I'm starting to read some Hollywood film scripts, and I've read some really great ones.

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

The writer's room is a really interesting place to be.

I see something that seems like standard fare, that I can imagine any number of actors playing, and I'm generally not interested.

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

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