Nothing can ever be a rule in drama, because then you're saying certain things won't ever happen, and that would be very boring.

I think of myself as a writer with a sense of humour rather than a comedy writer. Happy to tell a story with lots of jokes in it - I wouldn't know how to do jokes without the story.

It's a funny thing about stories. It doesn't feel like you make them up, more like you find them. You type and type and you know you haven't got it yet, because somewhere out there, there's that perfect thing -- the unexpected ending that was always going to happen. That place you've always been heading for, but never expected to go.

When you're surrounded by friends and exes, there's a whole lot of stuff that starts crawling out. But however serious and traumatic those experiences may be to the participant, to the onlooker they're hilarious.

Kathy Nightingale: What's good about sad? Sally Sparrow: It's happy for deep people.

Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, in which case, always ignore a coincidence.

We're all stories, in the end.

When man invented fire, he didn't say, Hey, let's cook. He said, Great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark.

Always take a banana to a party.

Keep this straight in your head: we are not fighting an alien invasion - we're leading a revolution. And today the battle begins.

My priorities are where they should be, which is making really great, really exciting television.

I'd forgotten not all victories are about saving the universe.

If you take most men aside when their wives are pregnant, most men are pretty frightened and worried and faintly disgusted by the whole experience.
