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 don't ever want to have a weak episode of television with my name on it.
Working as a showrunner has made it tougher to watch other shows and movies.
I don't want my writing to be recognized.
To this day, nothing makes me happier than finding a TV show I really love.
I still feel driven to try to make great shows and to make each episode great.
