I wanna keep being productive and creative.

It's weird how with a TV show, you don't have just the one ending - you have the many.

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

What's so great about making television is that it's a collaborative beast. It's created by a great many hands belonging to a great many people.

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.

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.

It's often the case with successful TV shows that they kind of inadvertently live on past their prime. It's best to leave the audience wanting more.
