We are at this weird moment where there's an economic model that supports creativity. People are demanding something new and fresh.

You have to write a lot of scripts to get any scripts that are worth making.

At network television you could make a show like Freaks and Geeks, and even though 7 million people watch is every week, you were considered a terrible failure, and they got rid of you and staff.

I had a very specific type of terrible network experience where I was told that people like Seth Rogen and Jason Segel weren't leads, so it truly drove me mad. So to be trusted is all I value.
