If your ratings are high and there’s money being made, you’re allowed to be a perfectionist in television.

Pretty sad. Pretty lonely. But that's how I prefer it? I quess? I guess. It's a good guess. It's the best quess ever.

What's important is passion, investment, and people laughing out loud as they work.

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

Wake up in the morning and say, 'I refuse to be a hack,' and see what happens by the end of the day.

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

I love 30 Rock. It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
