Writing is the greatest thing about really good sitcoms.

If sitcoms were easy to write, there'd be a lot of good ones, and there aren't.

I don't want to get pretentious, but there's an art to doing sitcoms; you have to make it work in that format.

The strangest thing about writing a sitcom, is never knowing if it will become anything but words on a page.

To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.

I have to warn you, I'm not just some sitcom guy. I'm now an author.

When you're writing for a show, you're writing part of the script. You have to tell the story.

The characters are not allowed to change if you write a sitcom; they're not allowed to learn anything. There's all these sorts of rules, and you go, 'I just want to be able to write one character and then leave that behind.' Also, as a performer, and I may regret saying this, but it would be my own personal hell to be trapped in the sitcom.

Anyone can write. But comedy, you've got to do some writing. You get one comedy script to every 20 dramas.

I think people have a hard time thinking that I could've done a sitcom.
