Killing characters on television has become an easy short cut to cathartic emotion.

As someone with a novelistic background, I just didn't have much interest in creating stories by committee. I don't think you necessarily get the best story through that approach.

It’s better to not have a reputation than a bad one.

We live in a culture that has a real hard time distinguishing fiction from reality. Even when they're told something is fiction.

Most television shows are going to require an actor sign up from four to six years, but an anthology show really amounts to five or six months at the most. I thought serious actors might be attracted to that.

I'm not in the service business.
