Eustace Budgell

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Fiction is the thing I esteem most in my own work; I feel that, even if it's no good, only I could have written those books.

I'm not suggesting that the play is without fault; all of my plays are imperfect, I'm rather happy to say-it leaves me something to do.

I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Extras' and also 'The Trip.' That had all the nuances of friendship and finding things out about their lives without it being too much plot-driven.
