If something's working, you lean into it. You don't fight it.

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

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

The only way to keep a show alive is to stay loyal to your fans and not betray them creatively or ignore them when it comes to extra content. I'm on Twitter because I'm trying to answer their questions.

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

When you're on a staff, it's not your job to write what you think is funny. It's your job to write what the person who created the show thinks is funny.

If something's working, you lean into it. You don't fight it.
