Brendan O'Carroll

People have really taken Mrs. Brown to their hearts. I think she reminds them of their own mammies... Fierce and scary but full of love. ”

I miss the comedy of the '70s and '80s, like 'Only Fools And Horses' and 'Fawlty Towers,' so I'm glad I'm put in that category. ”

Anyone who thinks they can write the perfect comedy that everyone will love is a fool. I can only write what I think is funny and hope that there is a likeminded audience out there. ”

I can only write what makes me laugh, and what makes me laugh is the comedy I grew up on. ”

If you are writing comedy and try to please everybody, you'll please nobody. ”

I think with 'Modern Family,' you'll struggle to find anything better. It's brilliantly, brilliantly written. ”
