So many young pets burn out in Hollywood, it's crazy.

Dogs are more of a responsibility than kids - you can send a kid off to their grandparents or a nanny, but with a dog you can't do that.

You can maybe be artistic and really original and creative, but as long as it's got that funniness at the root of it, then certain people are going to love it just because they need a laugh.

My dad was in the army so we moved around a lot and I changed schools every year and had to make new friends, and I found that if I was the funny guy I could do that easier.

To open the majority of peoples' minds to something new is difficult. I always think that, as long as it's funny underneath, then you can argue that a teaspoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

There are no real guidelines or maps in Australia as to how to write a show, whereas in Hollywood it's where the TV industry is created and there's a lot of work that goes into development.

I often don't like seeing how different things are made. I'm not a big fan of behind the scenes stuff.

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.

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

British comedy - which has been a big inspiration to me for many years - is very different to Australian comedy and different again to American comedy.

Back in Australia, I did foster care for sick cats for years, and I was always most successful with the animals when I was given two - a brother and sister.

The soul suffers to the pain for the neglect of the spirit.

Being friends is different from being lovers. It’s a sea change.

I strain to hear, but my old ears, for all their obscene hugeness, pick up nothing but snippets:

Just … isn’t giving up allowed sometimes? Isn’t it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying’?

Clary: "Aren't they supposed to be hiring someone else to train me full-time anyway?"

The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much.

You have so much to learn from your enemies.

Enterprise search is becoming an indispensable tool to businesses of all sizes, helping people to find, use and share critical business information quickly.

Everyone fears and courts his own demon.

You have to experiment and that's gonna help your confidence so much when you step out and try things.
