People love a good mystery; I understand that.

I've never counted my chickens before they've hatched.

I've had a lifelong obsession with urban legends and American folklore.

I like to tell stories that have beginnings, middles and ends.

"I'm going to put out something that I believe in, or I'm not going to do it." I'm really scared of putting out a product that people will say, "Oh, that's not as good as the other thing."

It's always better to go personal and painful than to go big.

What I think networks do so well are big, fun, accessible, invite everybody into the tent kinds of storytelling, akin to an early Spielberg movie or a Michael Crichton novel. That's not to say that there aren't scary parts 'cause there are, and that there aren't sexy parts and edgy parts, just like early Spielberg would have, but there's a lot of heart, a lot of emotion and complicated characters.
