The Doctor: It's My Nose; It Has Special Powers. Nancy: Yeah? That Why It's So...? The Doctor: What? Nancy: Nothing. The Doctor: What? Nancy: Nothing. Do Your Ears Have Special Powers Too?

I Know This Is Going To Sound Very Self-serving, And I Apologize For It, But If You Can Write Comedy, You Can Pretty Much Write Anything, Because It's The Hardest. It's The Most Technically Demanding, The Most Precisely Evaluated Form Of Writing. People Know If It Works Or Not. There's A Big Button Marked 'fail,' And That's When Nobody Laughs.

The Way You Get Your Script To The Right People Is That You Put It In An Envelope. It's Easy. The Difficult Bit Is Writing Something That Is So Good People Will Take A Punt On A Brand New Writer.
