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

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

Writing is the greatest thing about really good sitcoms.

It would be interesting if this sitcom works, so I could be doing one thing all the time instead of going back and forth between all this different media which I sort of thrive on, I'm a bit of a moving target in that way.

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.

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

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

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

A lot of the traditional sitcom stuff I did - I think I could have gone that route when I was younger as a staff writer, and I just didn't want to.
