I feel like I am a good person and a professional, very able leader of men.

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

I don't really have a lot of appropriate feelings for people on an individual basis, but I've always wanted to make people happy.

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.

The concept of doing holiday episodes is a huge part of what's fantastic about doing TV. And viewers agree; you see the numbers going up for holiday episodes.

I guess working in the legitimate industry, the best thing you can take away from it is acceptance of the incompetence that often surrounds you. No, that sounds horrible. The most important thing, I guess, is the fact that working in the legitimate industry, what I see all too often is people trying to interpret the wishes of the audience, which with today's technology, is all too easy to measure empirically.

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