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

The writing is what's most important to me.

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.

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

Fans can't ruin shows. Only creators can.

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.
