Competition Quote by Jesse Armstrong
“I can just about enjoy it. There is an initial hurdle, where I feel like, oh goodness me, I'm going to watch a sitcom or a drama and it's my competition. But luckily quality tends to override that, so when I have been watching 'Him and Her' or 'Girls' or any of the shows I admire, you simply enjoy them.”
