The thing about 'Gilmore Girls' is that it's such a specific voice, and I lived with it for so long before it got on the air It's a very specific rhythm and a very specific banter.

If something ain't working, it ain't working. You can't stick with it.

It helps, if you've directed, to be able to write a script that is director-friendly. You're really telling them [directors], "This is how it works on this show." It takes some of the guesswork out of it.

I like a certain style of show, I like a certain pace, I like a rhythm, I like a lot of comedy in with my drama.

I think music on television is just uniformly dreadful. It is mundane, it says nothing.

You've gotta have a path [in your life]. And then, within that path, you have to be flexible. When things aren't working, you've gotta cut bait and find something else, but if you don't have a path, you're just dead.

I think I would be making a mistake to actively try and just do everything completely different from 'Gilmore Girls.
