Part of walking the line as showrunner is trying to please people and still be true to what you believe creatively.

I never went after character payments. I'm pretty much terrible at naming characters, so I usually name them after people I know.

Until I created my own shows, I had nothing but bad experiences on staffs.

I am done with the hour-long [true crime] shows: "She was a happy married wife. Everything was perfect. Until the trip to Aruba."

In a landscape where a 2.8 [demo rating] keeps you on the air, you can maintain that just by treating your fans with respect.

You have to lean into the turn. On every creative aspect, you have to lean into what's working.

Fans can't ruin shows. Only creators can.
