The most rewarding part of writing for TV is - a year ago I would have said it's just watching it on TV, it's just having been done with it and then collecting all that energy.

When you are in the 8 o'clock position, you can either be a cultural phenomenon, or you're endangered. It's a tough time slot.

I don't think it's going to be possible for the next generation of writers to tell stories without telling stories about telling stories.

I expect the audience to assume TV is stupid. I accept that it's my job to overcome it.

Don't be so hard on yourself, don't put pressure on yourself, life is just a chain of experiments and results, and you'll be perfect when you're dead.

Technology changes the medium. I grew up on watching a box in my living room that made my parents happy. After something is gone, the dust will settle and I'll see what's next.

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