When you're a writer and you're a producer, traditionally the junkets are really focused on the beautiful people and nobody wants to talk to you.

I make no distinction between writing and storytelling; I've always wanted to tell stories.

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.

In really, really good science fiction the line between the science and the fiction is blurry.

I think the idea that television has evolved to this place of real thematic richness and the fact that you no longer have to get 10 million people to watch your show in order to propagate its survival are the best things that have ever happened to storytelling in this medium.

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 'The Shield' was a phenomenal series finale.
