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

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

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.

Fans can't ruin shows. Only creators can.

I used to search and search for that actor or actress who's exactly what's in my head. But you have to realize you have to cast whoever's super talented and super funny, and then the character has to become at least partially theirs.

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

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