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

With sitcom writing, you're trying to write stories.

The writers are the stars of every really successful sitcom.

Great writing makes great television.

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

I started writing prose before I started writing television. Then 'Breaking Bad' came around, and to me, writing 'Breaking Bad' is like writing a novel each season. So it's been very creatively satisfying writing for the show.

What's great about working on a sitcom is that I spend so much time with people who are in other fields as well, such as writing, directing, and/or camera operating. Being on set is like being on a playground. I go from one thing to the next, and I've learned so much and hope to continue learning.

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