I am of the opinion that there is more high-quality television being produced than at any time in the history of television.

Every city, every town, every region in USA has these weird things - the way they pronounce words, or what they call soda, or how people drive. It's a huge country, and there's all these strange pockets of behavioral patterns that social anthropologists could spend lifetimes researching and reporting on.

All of comedy at some level is trial-and-error, whether it's a stand-up trying out jokes or a comedy show trying stories.

You really don't settle on an idea until you're really sure it's the best idea. Then once you settle on it you commit to it entirely. That was always the plan.

I don't know why anybody does anything in the world of television.

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

I care more about making sure the story is correct and the characters are behaving in character than I do about the individual jokes.
