I remember saying in college that I would never do commercials.

People read things into my commercials that don't even exist.

Philosophically, I don't like doing commercials.

I never bought the commercial thing, at any stage of the game.

People who haven't done commercials, don't appreciate how hard it is.

And I've always loved commercials. I like working out how to organically weave a brand's message into the writing process. It's like an improv show, where comics ask the audience to throw out a word and a skit is built around it.

For the longest time, I was auditioning, getting called back, and I had a long string of things not going my way. I thought, 'Maybe this is never going happen. Maybe I'll never book a commercial.'

Commercials were too phony for me. I just didn't like selling products I didn't believe in.

I started as a teenager going up on commercials.
