I Always Think It's Better To Take

Nothing Makes Me Happier Than To Have A Smart Person Tell Me Why The Show Is Smart, Especially If I Didn't Intend That. I Tend To Be A Very Instinctual Writer, And I Don't Plot Shows Out Like, "this Is My Thesis And This Is How I'm Going To Subtly Sneak My Thesis Into This Episode." I Just Approach It From, "we Know These Characters Well, Here Are The Situations That They're In, Now How Would They Behave? What Would The Consequences Be?" And It's Always Fun To See How People Interpret That And Dissect It Afterward, And Make Me And The Other Writers Seem Probably Smarter Than We Really Are.

There Are Certain Economics Involved In Making A Network Tv Show That You Want To Amortize The Costs Of That, So The More Episodes You Make, The Cheaper They All Are Individually.

There Will Always Be Economic Pressure To Make Hits, Identify Hits, And Then Exploit Hits. And You're Going To Exploit Them With As Many Episodes As You Probably Can.

Everyone In Hollywood Who Is Successful Becomes Less Successful At Some Point. I'm Just Trying To Delay That Fall For As Long As I Can.

To This Day, Nothing Makes Me Happier Than Finding A Tv Show I Really Love.
