Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.

I grew up in the theatre. It's where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.

A friend is somebody who says the same things to your face that they would say if you're not in the room.

I think it's up to writers to write stuff that is compelling enough that people want to watch.

The downside to series television is that the schedule is ferocious. It constantly feels like you have a midterm due that you haven't started yet.

If I get an idea for a series that I really like, I'm sure I won't be able to resist coming back and doing it.

I love writing. I'm not particularly comfortable in the actual world - I'm much more comfortable on the page. So if I could have a life where I could just slip the pages under the door and somebody would slip me a meal back, then that would be perfect for me.
