One of the things I'm proud of is my ability to change directions if something's not working.

With showrunning, the more successful you get, the more you're pulled away from the writing.

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.

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

It's a nightmare of editing. That's what I do all day.

By engaging someone for five minutes, you can make them a lifelong fan.

Fans can't ruin shows. Only creators can.
