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.

I am absolutely and inherently self-destructive in that I am always making sure I'm doing what I want to do.

'I want to touch people but if I touch them in real life they'll slap me.' That's what writing isit's a gross person getting a hug.

There's the same percentage of genius happening in both genders, but there's less women writing scripts and out there looking for the job.

I've never done well when I've been appreciated. I've done best when I'm targeted for death.

If somebody's cat happens to turn on the TV, my numbers can double. It's almost unrelated to what's really happening.

I was raised on NBC television.
