I am a collaborator with everyone who agrees that I need to be in control. I happily collaborate with my loyalists.

My cat brought me a toy. I thanked her and threw it. She sat there gave me a look that made me realize people and dogs are the crazy ones.

I was playing the game where I was going to be a great TV or film writer some day and there was nothing else that I thought about, including other people.

Find your voice, shout it from the rooftops, and keep doing it until the people that are looking for you find you.

All [tv] shows are like cigarettes. You watch two, you have a higher chance of watching three. They're all addictive.

There are no normal people, there are just different kinds of weird, all of it is human and all humanity is better than everything inhuman. So I urge you to keep expressing yourself as honestly as you can, and know that the backpedals and second-guesses really aren't necessary - they don't hurt but they're wasting your time - because when you are truly human, as we all are, and when that is your honest message to anyone, you are beyond reproach, there is no way to screw it up.

TV tends to be like, if you're lucky, it's like Las Vegas. You can't get out. There's always another pitch meeting. They keep you on the casino floor. If I'm unlucky, if I'm lucky enough to be unlucky, I would love to write a movie.
