Spies have the same kinds of needs and desires that everybody does, which is funny. The best kind of comedy derives from that kind of truth.

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

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.

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.

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.

Everybody should have a television show. Let's all get television shows!

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