Laughter is the best creative medicine.

I used to desire many, many things, but now I have just one desire, and that's to get rid of all my other desires.

Telling people how to be creative is easy - being creative is difficult.

It’s only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve.

I don't miss London much. I find it crowded, vast and difficult to get around. Cabs are incredibly expensive.

I started to make harder jokes before anyone else did. And the producers would get anxious. They'd say, 'That's a little bit hard-edged, isn't it?' And I'd say, 'Let's just try it and see how the audience reacts. If they don't like it, let's cut it out.' And the audience roared with laughter, so I learned you could do this harder humor and people loved it.

Naturally, people's image is of a performer, but the reality of it is the writing for me has always been the most important thing and the most rewarding thing.
