When I really have to push and grope and scratch and claw to make a story work, that's a telltale sign that maybe something conceptually isn't right.

For me, I'm happy to succeed on any network.

Chemistry is not anything an executive producer or writer can orchestrate or plan; you just hope for it.

I've never really told jokes. I'm not good at it.

The way I personally work is I like to write what I know, what I feel, and also where I am.

But I do believe that in all my shows, I really enjoy the quirky, the eccentric characters, the ones you don't meet every day.
