I think the Trump thing is particularly egregious, and I think he's as much a product of the GOP lie machine in the era of Roger Ailes as he is of television. And also, of the Twitter era. Of the everything-is-as-reductive-as-it-can-be. To me, the most telling thing is we have a man who cannot complete a sentence. Certainly could never get to 140 characters, or past it. He thinks in tiny little bursts - the way he tweets.

I don't have a particular ambition in any medium. I just want to keep telling stories. If somebody pays me, also good.

Limitations are something that I latch onto - like working in genre, or if you're writing TV, there are act breaks, there's a length of time it's supposed to be. The restrictions of budget and sets can be really useful. When you can have everything, it's very hard to make things feel real and lived in.

I generally think that Hillary Clinton is a good egg and a good politician.

My visions of the future are always pretty much standard issue. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and there are flying cars.

I don't think I'm like Shakespeare.
