I'm very fortunate in that all the mediums I work in are extremely collaborative. Movies are probably the most solitary on a day to day basis, but even then you have producers and studio executives to work with and bounce ideas off of.

I think when it comes to television as opposed to film, the producers really are the writers. We work with people who are purely financial producers.

At the end of the day, I think the only way to do the kind of job a writer does is push everything aside and just ultimately sit down and do the work.

The guy who sits at the keyboard and types is so much smarter than I am. I think I got into writing so that I could spend as much time with that guy as possible.

Do what you love and you'll always love what you do. I've found that that's true most of the time.

Probably the biggest challenge is actors, no matter how talented the actor is they don't have the capability of being in more than one place than one particular time, which is very vexing.

You can save the city, but having the city be in jeopardy is one thing and having the people you care about be in jeopardy is another.
