I have no problem at all going back and forth between cable and network.

I'm perfectly happy to color within the network lines when I have to.

I've always read a lot of historical books and I'm a big fan of documentaries, and I've always thought of ways to do it.

There will always be economic pressure to make hits, identify hits, and then exploit hits. And you're going to exploit them with as many episodes as you probably can.

There are certain economics involved in making a network TV show that you want to amortize the costs of that, so the more episodes you make, the cheaper they all are individually.

Everyone in Hollywood who is successful becomes less successful at some point. I'm just trying to delay that fall for as long as I can.

I don't want my writing to be recognized.
