Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me.

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.

Doing TV is a different kind of language.

The better the writing, the easier it gets.

I can't do anything else. So if this falls through, I'm screwed.

The more varied the characters, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Now, people can watch the entire first series over a period that would probably take you a couple of nights.
