I can’t wait to meet Steven Spielberg or Al Pacino again so I can say, ‘I have to tell you how you know me. You know me because I am the worst actor in the...

I loved ‘Lost,’ from beginning to end.

In a weird way, the drama behind the stage was sort of keeping ‘Community’ on people’s minds.

When you’re talking about people like Shonda Rhimes, Vince Gilligan or Beau Willimon, you’re talking to people who are notable and celebrities in their own right. People want to know how their brains work.

I think what makes a good show is obviously a rabid fan base.

My family was perfect.

A sketch is just a mini movie.

When I teach sketch writing, there’s still a beginning, middle and end.

I think most co-directors and co-writers just hold hands.
