I think when you do a season of television you go into it going I'd like the season premiere needs to be amazing. The season finale needs to be amazing.

I'm always working on something. I wish I had more time for free-thinking and brainstorming new ideas. That's not to say my mind doesn't wander, but I find myself wishing for more of that kind of time.

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.

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

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.

Time away from thinking about something is as valuable - perhaps even more so - than directly thinking about it.

There should be nothing I can't live without.
