I think every time there's a show like 'Modern Family' or 'Will & Grace' that portray gay and lesbian characters and is successful, it just further opens the door.

With drama, especially, it seems like the bigger the budgets and the edgier the characters, the more interesting they are. We're very lucky because 'Modern Family' wouldn't fit on cable: they'd want us to push it more and be edgier and turn it into something that it's not.

I'm a little bit in shock, to tell you the truth.

But at its core, 90 percent of my job is still sitting down in a room full of people, and breaking storiesand that requires virtually no technology.

I acknowledge that Hulu's easy accessibility probably keeps some people from pirating. But a respected industry analyst says less than 5% of TV content is being stolen today.

Twitter is fun - I'm a tech guy, I love anything new, I'm big on all that stuff.

I once called the head of a network a liar. In hindsight, I should have called him an incompetent liar.
