Any time you try to be edgy just for the sake of being edgy, that's the worst way.

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.

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.

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 never went after character payments. I'm pretty much terrible at naming characters, so I usually name them after people I know.
