With the stand-up comic on TV, whether it's Seinfeld or Cosby or Roseanne, more important than their knowledge of how to tell a joke is their knowledge of themselves, or the persona they've created as themselves.

John Lennon - one of the greatest writers in the world.
On 'Lab Rats,' I read the script probably three or four times before we ever even do a table read because I want to be completely prepared.

Compared to the other work I've done on TV, 'Breaking Bad' was funny. In the beginning, I described it as a dark comedy.
