The worst thing is to read bad reviews and go, "Yeah, I agree."

Being comedic is a skill, because there is a fine line where the context is important. And being dramatic is just being honest and real in that moment.

If you surround me with darkness, suddenly, I am "somewhat fun."

Drama is more focused and it reveals itself to you, whereas comedy is just right there, when you first read it.

I learn things in a backward way. I learn all those limitations, and slowly my brain soaks them up, and if things go right, you just, in an organic way, translate your ideas into those templates. That's the way I perceive the process happening.

If you're committed enough, you can make any story work. I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it.

I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.
