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

The writing is what's most important to me.

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

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.

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

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.

Fans can't ruin shows. Only creators can.
