I think that 'The Shield' was a phenomenal series finale.

When someone says something in an interview, the beauty of Twitter is that it's a platform for instantaneous response.

Hindsight is 20/20, but the moral of the writing for me is that when you're feeling very scared and nervous about something and you're fairly convinced that it could be a massive disaster, that's exactly the idea that you should do.

I'm not glass-half-full, glass-half-empty; I'm like, "There's a glass?"

I don't think it's hubris for me to say I'm a Trek fan. So, I don't treat Trek fans as somebody who's separate than I am. The only thing that separates them is, I'm one of the people responsible for the story in this movie and they're not. But we're all Trek fans. I can hang.

Just put your best foot forward and hope for the best. You also have to acknowledge that you're going to make mistakes.

I think that we, as writers, get excited by risk. When we are feeling comfortable and familiar, I wouldn't say that we get bored, but the energy in the room gets flat. When we're most excited and when the show is the most fun, it's when we're duking things out.
