You don't want to be slavishly doing the same thing over and over again that everybody else has done, but at the same time, you're conscious of, "This is important. I owe something to my ten year old self right now. I need to respect that." I need for that kid who is obsessively reading comic books, I need there to be something rewarding for him where he's like, I didn't waste my time. I know what this is.

I have to say, as a showrunner, being niche-y is kind of a great thing.

One of the things that I have always been interested in is the actual experience of people in their lives as opposed to what we think their experience should be.

Obviously, everybody's favorite form of web content is more story with principal actors. But the economics of the web do not yet support.

The funny thing for me is, I have never lived in a network world.

I came to accept in myself a long time ago that I really do like writing articulate sociopaths.

I really gravitate to the comedy of tonal contrasts. I hope that doesn't sound insufferably pretentious. What I mean is people having reactions to things that seem inappropriate, or being happy in an apparently unhappy situation.
