I've Spent A Lot Of Time Thinking

The Worst Thing You Can Do Is End Up With A Network Show On Cable Or End Up With A Cable Show On Network.

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.

I Was Never That Kid Who Grew Up In New York And Was Always At The Arthouse Watching Important Films. I Was The Kid Who Grew Up In The Midwest Where There Weren't Any Art Films, And I Watched Tv. And That Was Really The Medium That Affected Me And That I Fell In Love With.

I Don't Want My Writing To Be So Unique That When You Apply It To Different Genres, It Seems Like The Previous Show That People Know You From.
