I created a show called 'Crash' for Starz, which was their first original drama, and that was not a good experience. I had a great time working with the cast and crew, but it was a young network and an intrusive studio, and to be honest I didn't really enjoy the movie 'Crash.

One of the things I've learned by working on the 'Walking Dead' and other TV shows is to be more tolerant of other people's process.

I think horror films always have to be as simple as possible.

Don't forget, I've been fired by studios; I'm not the studio's guy. I'm a guy who can work with studios, but if you ask any studio, I stand up to these people.

People tweet me all the time and tell me how much they love it, how they can't wait for the show to come back on, that they're addicted to the show. So that's really rewarding. As an artist, we're all looking for that connection to an audience and when you find people as diehard as our fans are - it's sort of like finding the holy grail.

I usually dive head first and am really excited about that changes.

The key things I learned as a hospital administrator are to be organized, communicate, and be flexible.
