I think that comic followers are always waiting for key iconic moments.

It's more important to get the right writer and the right take than it is to do something in a particular timeframe.

The truth is there's so many great TV shows out there now that none of us take absence of awards personally. The most important feedback is the feedback we get from the fans.

Film-making is a business and at the bottom line people who don't make fiscally responsible decisions end up going into another line of work.

I think in television you have an ever-closer bond to the audience because they're inviting you into your living rooms and their bedrooms 16 hours a year. And they have that relationship with the characters and with the creators. And now, because of social media that's even a more significant connection.
