I wish I could know everything ever, like that would be my wish - that's what I hope heaven is, that they tell you who shot JFK and all that stuff.

Sometimes I just want to tell a story regardless of whether it fits what the show is saying. I’ve been in a lot of writing rooms where somebody says an idea and everyone’s dying, like laughing so they’re delirious. It’s like a black hole in a good way, everything starts to fall into it, you know what I mean.

I was a nerd growing up, and I'm a little antisocial and awkward.

...Then I got divorced and everything changed, and I became a father in a whole new way and found a whole new set of difficulties.

There's two kinds of press that you get when you put out a TV show: The reviews, and the people that just decide what the reviews say.

Perception is created and twisted so quickly.

I spend enough time onscreen looking hangdog and depressed.
