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.

I don't want my writing to be recognized.

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.

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

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

I've worked in network and cable on and off for a number of years, and you just understand what your parameters are. A lot of times, I think the best work that my team has come up with comes from having to deal with certain boundaries.

I think the bar is higher these days in terms of audience expectations of authenticity.
