The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!

This thing called the camera, that takes everything in equally, taught me a lot about how to see.

I think one day I want to be on the other side of the camera-maybe directing.

It's a very long and difficult schedule on a single-camera show.

With photography, you are lucky if you get people to look at your pictures at some point. There's no formal way to show them.

I don't know how to do a show not in front of a live audience.

I'm not someone who enjoys long talks, long rehearsals. I'm very technical: I tell my actors, you come in, you sit down, you pick up a coffee, you look here, you say the line. We try it with the cameras rolling, and if it doesn't work, we adjust it until it does. It's very simple.

I've just written this six-part sketch comedy series, which I've never done before. And I don't know how to pitch it. Am I supposed to just pick up a camera and put stuff on YouTube? Is that how it works?

To me, a multi-cam is just like the feeling you get from the audience.

I'm shooting a pilot based on my show. It's a one-camera show. I play myself.
