I don't think we had a hard time with ["Mary and Jane"]. It is just, it was the constant management of it.

Somebody said, there is no show if it goes legal. But actually, there is.

Two years ago it felt novel to do the East Side and then tons of other stuff have come up set in that world, but we still liked it. It felt like people are using East Side in other shows because it is cool.

When we were done and not picked up to series yet, they wanted us to read lots of writers. I was like, "No." Then we finally were picked up. It is hard not to start thinking of story lines. It is like doodling.

The pilot is easy. It is 30 minutes, 20 minutes. It is not that much to juggle.

The original pilot script [ of "Mary and Jane"], we literally just wrote for fun. It was, let's just do this.

There is an episode [in "Mary and Jane"] where there is not a lot of pot smoking, but there is a giant wall of weed in their apartment.
