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

What's important on a comedy show, or any show, is that some stories have to go somewhere. There have to be ends to the beginnings and middles you create. But sometimes it's like a way station on the highway, then the actual thing doesn't have to be this giant, climactic, life-changing, game-changing thing.

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 find Billy Eichner to be hilarious, though I also imagine that for many, a little goes a long way. Billy provides a kind of comedy the Parks and Recreations show did not have - an insane person screaming at everyone, and our job going forward, as it is with all of our characters, is to develop him and make him more three dimensional.

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

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

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