I do have a chore schedule - in my mind. I don't tell anyone I have it, but it's in my mind.
From David Alan Basche
You have to be careful what you say in front of comedy writers because they will absolutely make fun of it in the next episode.
A fan once stopped me outside a theatre and gave me as a gift a signed photograph of Sir Laurence Olivier. It was strange, but nice, too.
When I met Bono at the Cannes Film festival while I was there for the film 'United 93,' he said to me, 'That's a great film, brother. Thank you for your courage in making it.' I plotzed.
I'm a huge fan of 'The Odd Couple,' yes, and any comparisons to Tony Randall and or Jack Lemmon are completely welcome. I kind of try to channel those guys, and then add my own neuroses, too.
I have to admit: I have been known to be obsessively neat and like things arranged 'just so.'
I love telling stories, telling jokes, making people laugh. I've got no plans to stop doing it.
I love comedy because I can laugh at myself. I don't take myself too seriously.
I love the sitcom schedule. It takes a week to make an episode, but we don't work on weekends. I'm usually done in time to get home for dinner with my wife and daughter.
I'm happy to be the guy on the subway that people stare at and they just can't quite place it. I don't really like my life intruded upon too much. In a way, it's kind of nice to not be all that well known.
