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

I couldn't see myself doing a traditional sitcom.

Emotionally, shows like 'Cheers' and 'Taxi' were classic sitcoms when I was growing up.

The only thing I miss from the sitcom format is that immediate gratification of when you're, if we're talking about comedy, of the live audience.

I decided sitcoms weren't for me.

I don't know, on a sitcom, and in theatre especially, you have to really be listening to an audience. And if you're losing them, you can hear the sniffs, and the playbills shuffling and whatnot.

I loved doing sitcoms.

I think that the line between television and features started to blur a couple years ago. The standards started to become the same, which is that the idea had to be very loud. The show didn't have to be loud; the idea had to be loud. It had to cut through the clutter.
