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

I'm done with the shows about "women got murdered by husband." My wife watches them constantly, but it makes me want to kill myself. They serve no purpose. They're not news shows. They just exploit all of these murder victims.

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

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

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

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.

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