The best jokes on The Leftovers are the ones that make you feel a little sick to your stomach.

Ultimately, I just felt like Twitter brought out the worst in me. It made me super defensive when I was attacked, because you're under a constant state of attack. No one should be able to check their @ mentions, because Twitter is the equivalent of "Hey, those three people over there that are whispering... They're whispering about you! Do you want to know what they're saying?"

In television, I don't feel constraints. I feel a lot freedom to maneuver.

Lost is a mystery show, so I think that would be stripping the franchise of sort of its essential nature.

Anger is not a real feeling. Every time in my life I've ever been angry, it's because I was scared, or because I was sad and I didn't know it. Anger doesn't just come out of a vacuum.

One person's magical thinking is another person's cynicism.

I love finding new creative partnerships but then continuing the partnerships I'm already in.
