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

I'm fortunate to have had my own level of success. My joys in life are I've got three little kids, and I got to buy a house that I really like, and everyone should have that.

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

The idea of the writer/producer in television is much younger than people think it is.

A "showrunner" as a position is a relatively new thing. It used to be the executive producer. That's not true anymore. Now it's evolved into this model where people look to showrunners and say, that guy is that show. It's just become a lot more interesting to know the showrunner and to get a sense of that person.

I'm a rule follower. But there is also a part of me, clearly, that doesn't follow them.

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.
