As a comedy writer, I'm always praying for the day I can tell a self-aware/break-the-fourth-wall style of joke.
I was born in England - though both of my parents are American - and there's something about the 'Muppets' where they have this combination of English and American humor.
I knew after 'Sarah Marshall' that my favorite genre is romantic comedy. Nothing is more satisfying than a great romantic comedy.
I think the best romantic comedies don't have villains.
A big part of being in a relationship or marriage or whatever is you have to eventually compromise. Your life doesn't end up exactly the way you think it's going to, and if it's the right relationship, you might have to compromise what you're doing professionally.
