We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt.

I've always been interested in themes of memory, paranoia, and revenge.

I'm a big believer in pose some questions and then answer a few of them before you move onto the next set of questions.

I don't think anyone really understands why a show works or why it doesn't.

We're gonna play a little bit of a game here [Person of Interest movie]. Greg and I felt like we had responsibility when we wrapped up the pilot, to have a roadmap for where the show went. When we pitched the pilot, we knew what we wanted the last episode to be, the last image, I think we even know what the last song is.

I don't think you can guess what people will really like. You have to come at it from a more natural place and then kind of hope that your taste is shared by enough people to keep going.

TV is, as I'm discovering now, a marathon. You have to keep going and going and going.
