I have this identity for myself as a writer and the only thing that can happen is that I chip away from it.

We mapped out the whole movie, and then worked backwards from that to do these shows. It might not be a movie. It might be something else.

I will tell you that we're all human beings, and we all care about what people think of us. But in general, their outlook is, "We're not looking at opening night numbers. We're not looking at opening night box office. We want this to be part of the reason you come to our service."

Television is a very writer-driven business, and it's one of the few parts of entertainment where writers are treated with respect, only because they need you. If they didn't have to treat you with respect, they would be happy to dismiss you.

Character is what someone does, much more than who they are. I can be sarcastic or I can be fearful, but it doesn't really matter until there's a story - until someone comes in and holds us hostage.

We started gearing our content more to what makes us laugh and stories we wanted to tell, and we had to decide, early on, to not be precious about it.

First of all, there is absolutely an order that we have put together to create the maximum number of surprises, but that's just part of our storytelling.
