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

When I first started writing, I had a very difficult time switching between projects, but now it's not only second-nature, it's indispensable: If I stall on one project, I can switch to another and stay productive.

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.

Your subconscious is always working in the background, unlocking things and solving problems.

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 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.

The world's an angry place these days. Let's just not take it out on each other.
