At a very basic level, I think television exists for game shows, and I think it always will.

I watch mediocre shows that have been on for three or four seasons, and feel angry at them.

I mean, I'll say the filthiest things in the world, but when it comes down to it, I'm kind of a prude.

I wouldn't want to be a talk show host. That's another awkward compliment people make. 'You should have your own talk show.' And I think, no thank you.

I actually find something rewarding about that tension between satisfying myself and satisfying others. Because first of all, I can't provide my own structure, and that tension provides a structure for me to actually work within.

If you start to just aim for what the audience wants to hear, you're already hamstrung because you don't have any freedom.

I briefly considered doing Edgar Allan Poe and just swearing a lot.
