Writers are opposite of athletes, they get better with age

Just to clarify the division of labor on the show, I write the show and Alan [Poul] does everything else.

With a television series, there's a hard deadline, and so you have to write even when you're not writing well.

Rule of storytelling: When a character is shoved against a wall, shove them against a wall harder.

The hardest thing for me is getting started. If I'm writing a script, really 90 per cent of it would be just walking around, climbing the walls, just trying to put the idea together. Then the final 10 per cent would be writing it.

Tell me what you think and then tell me what the really smart person in the room who disagrees with you thinks.

Josh: So, Toby, it’s election night. What do you say about a country that goes out of its way to protect even those citizens that try to destroy it? Toby: God bless America.
