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

Series finales have that responsibility to leave you feeling good about entire series. You want to feel like the viewer closes the book satisfied. And if you strike out on the finale it skews how you feel about the entire series.

TV is just such a fast-moving medium that you do what you can do, and what you can't do, you don't worry about too much.

When you start a TV show, you're not necessarily thinking, "Are we setting up what we need for season seven?" You're just trying to stay on the air, and you try to learn your job as you go, and do what you can.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about what the audience would want. That's my job, is to anticipate ahead of the audience.

I don't want my writing to be so unique that when you apply it to different genres, it seems like the previous show that people know you from.

You can make a good show, but you still need some magical alchemy to get people to watch.
