It's nice to think people might be talking about it after they've seen it. With some comedies it's a bit 'wham bam thank you ma'am', and then you just go for a pizza.

I think what's difficult is proving to people that a script actually does work and sometimes the laughter might not be on the page, it might be between the lines.

I always think it's just best to just make stuff and to carry on making stuff, even if it's not off your own back, because that's the only way... especially as a comedy writer, I make short films and then show them to live audience, so if they're laughing you know you're doing something right.

If you can make someone believe that you believe in the idea then I think that's worth a lot.

I think it's very easy to get discouraged early on.

I think both of us [ with Steve Oram], once we decided to do comedy, knew that we would have to come to London to do that.

I think in most couples or partnerships, there's a constant struggle for power and dominance.
