I think that for me, as far as audience expectations and how you manage your anxiety, it helps to keep things in perspective.

I want to believe there's a heaven. But I can't not believe there's a hell.

I wanna keep being productive and creative.

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.

I stay away from the internet as much as I can. Except for pornography.

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.

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.
