00:00 I've always liked writing. I was in the writers room for Friends.
00:03 There were probably 20 people in there, like 15 guys and 5 women.
00:08 And they had a pie chart drawn up so each character would have the same amount of time
00:13 and have the same amount of scenes.
00:16 Am I right, you were the only member of the cast of Friends who was allowed in the writers room?
00:20 It's not that I was allowed to, it's just I was the only one who wanted to go, so I went.
00:25 And what did that involve?
00:27 hanging out there and pitching jokes and it was fun.
