The best shows are always the ones that are very, very low-concept and just about great characters.

For storytelling purposes, there has to be conflict, but that doesn't mean the people have to be mean. I've never liked mean-spirited comedy.

People do things with terrible motivations and those motivations are selfish and self-interested and financially driven.

My favorite TV show of all time is 'The Wire,' which has the feeling of a project-based show. You draw in people from disparate parts of the world, and they have to work together to achieve a goal.

I am not on Facebook. I'm not on Instagram. I only use Twitter, which I wish I didn't.

Sometimes you've got to just commit to the idea and press forward and trust that you made the right decision.

One of the worst things you could do in that world is curse at someone.
