There's a new television generation coming in every five or 10 years, and the classic stories stand up to being redone.

I depend a lot on my own judgment, for better or worse.

There's always a crisis somewhere, and you get the satisfaction of solving the problem. And then, there's always the mystery of whether a program will work or not, and waiting for the reviews or seeing what the audience figures are.

Anybody who pitches a story or an idea for a film to an executive, whatever the latest hit is, is what you're comparing it to.

People love solving puzzles, and you always love it when somebody smarter than you is solving puzzles.

I've discovered that people don't actually want to have things spoiled, and they really try to avoid spoilers.

I love mysteries on television – the more psychologically complex the better.
