Imagery is like music.

You have to give directors and cinematographers a word blueprint for visuals, but I had to learn that from experience.

The entertainment world, television, movies, social media, YouTube stuff, we're so bombarded with so much imagery and such a great sense of inhumanity, and there is a coarseness, a coarsening of interaction.

Casting is sort of like looking at paintings. You don't know what you'll like, but you recognize it when you see it.

When it is perceived that a show has gone awry, the pressure is staggering, and as a writer caught in that storm, it feels like you are being attacked by jackals.

Television and film are such streamlined story mediums. You can't really meander about, whereas a novel is an interior experience.

One of the problems of writing is that anyone who commits themselves to that process has to believe that they're good.
