In features, one of the goals is to have the audience walk out, fully satisfied. In today's world, it's maybe wanting a sequel.

When you're writing for a TV show, what's great is that you always know what actor you're writing to.

TV is gratifying in the long-term. We [writers] find ourselves knowing who we can go to for a laugh, or who we can go to for a good emotional moment, and then milking those things.

In features, one of the goals is to have the audience walk out, fully satisfied. In today's world, it's maybe wanting a sequel.

I think a reason why TV is exciting and getting so much better is because we [authors] get to play off of an actor's strengths and challenge them on their weaknesses. On a feature [film], you don't necessarily get to do that. You hope that they cast the right guy, who comes in and plays your part.

In television, you can leave so many things open-ended. For everything you wrap up, you can open another one or two.
