People walk past me in the street and look at me, but because they think I work in their office and they can't remember my name.

I never thought I want to do anything, really, except not go to work properly and turn up at the same place every day and eat sandwiches in the same canteen, if I can possibly help it, as I don't think I'd be very good at it.

Jokes in sitcoms only work when they're not conspicuous and they reveal character.

The secretary of state's office has been a very difficult agency to work with the past couple of years. This gives the governor an opportunity to really step forward and select someone who has expertise in the area of elections.

I do think it's perfectly natural and human to want to invest belief in something. It's just a facet of who we are. What do I believe in? I believe in the obvious things. The people I'm close to and my work - it's not complicated.

The characters can't be wittier than people are in real life. They have to be character witty.
