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

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

I've always been fairly confident in my acting.

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.

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

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