If you do something awesome, you should be proud of yourself.

I've always been into having stories told to me. I was a voracious reader, my father was also a teller of tales; and the kind of Baron Munchausen proxy of a tall tale was much more interesting than a true tale.

I've always been fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland.

I think one of the problems in determining the ending for a television series is that you don't know how long the show is gonna last. Particularly because we were in the unique position of adapting Tom's Perrotta novel The Leftovers, it always felt like the first season was gonna end with the end of Tom's novel, and then we would figure things out from there and look back.

Michael Arndt, that guy - you're just supposed to say nice things about other writers, but I worship Michael Arndt.

I'm not sitting around thinking of ideas for TV shows.

Reputation is a very interesting thing, and I always give people the benefit of the doubt, and I think that there's a part of all of us, especially in a generation where a lot of the stuff gets recorded.
