People want what they want, for as long as they want it, then tastes change and something else works.

Having certain limits - not too many, but certain limits on an ability to tell a story - makes us work harder, me and my writers. Sometimes I watch a giant movie with a $250 million budget and I think they feel kind of bloated, and that if they'd been leaner and meaner they might've had better storytelling.

If you’re too rigid in your thinking you may miss some wonderful opportunities for storytelling.

Let the audience put 2 and 2 together so that it comes up with 4. Let them do that themselves, and they'll love you forever.

I love cable, but not because you can show boobies and say the F-word. I love it because you have more time to think. That's the blessing of it.

I'm not a big internet guy - not because I'm not interested in what people have to say, but probably because I'm too interested.

I wanna keep being productive and creative.
