The idea of the writer/producer in television is much younger than people think it is.

I came to accept in myself a long time ago that I really do like writing articulate sociopaths.

The funny thing for me is, I have never lived in a network world.

I have always been drawn to characters, and this was true for my feature-writing career as well, where there is a tension between rule-breaking and rule-following.

I'm a rule follower. But there is also a part of me, clearly, that doesn't follow them.

Everybody should have a television show. Let's all get television shows!

I'm fortunate to have had my own level of success. My joys in life are I've got three little kids, and I got to buy a house that I really like, and everyone should have that.

I am very conscious on a daily basis of how extraordinarily blessed I am to get to do what I do and work with the people that I work with, so I make a practice of being grateful.

See you later, alligator. After a while, crocodile.

Im thinking of going into rehab. Im not addicted to anything, but I think its good way to jumpstart an acting career.

I think the terrorists are just idiots.

Photography is like a river with a thousand streams that never converge.

If at first you don't succeed, that's one data point.

I don't think comics necessarily think in literary terms. There is an element of developing your stage persona and your comedic voice, but I don't think comics see it like a character in a novel.
