• It's tough to make funny films. And the truth is, with this process, especially if you write your own movie, then you're giving three years of your life to it. And so, I just have to be sure that when I embark on it that I'm happy to think that in three years' time I'm going to be sitting in a room on the tenth floor of an odd office building at Ginsberg Libby talking about it. So I'm keen not to jump into it too quickly and just make sure it's something that I really want.

• There's a lot of unexpected things. Wonderful things, tough things, but there's always somebody just ready to pitch in.

It makes you want to do stuff for the fans, makes you want to do stuff for the people on the show. I love it.
