I don't ever want to have a weak episode of television with my name on it.

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

I'm very humble in terms of knowing that television is an extraordinary collaborative medium and that one person alone cannot make a great TV show.

The worst thing you can do is end up with a network show on cable or end up with a cable show on network.

The payment for sins can be delayed. But they cant be avoided.

Obviously there are different standards and practices that are allowed on cable versus network. You just have to embrace what your network is going to allow.

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.
