My own writing has perhaps more of an American flavor than a British one, but that's because the stories I've so far written have needed it.

I think that comedy really tells you how it is. The other thing about comedy is that - you don't even know if you're failing in drama, but you do know when you're failing in comedy. When you go to a comedy and you don't hear anybody laughing, you know that you've failed.
