Time has a certain current to it, and it wants to flow in a certain direction.

There should be nothing I can't live without.

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.

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.

When I write a film, the film gets handed off to a producer and a director and I go my merry way. With television, I am expected and contracted to stick around and actually produce what I've written.

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

I always think the audience sometimes wants what you're not giving them.
