I'm Very Humble In Terms

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 Have No Problem At All Going Back And Forth Between Cable And Network.

Obviously There Are Different Standards And Practices That Are Allowed On Cable Versus Network. You Just Have To Embrace What Your Network Is Going To Allow.

I'm Very Humble In Terms Of Knowing That Television Is An Extraordinary Collaborative Medium And That One Person Alone Cannot Make A Great Tv Show.

I Don't Ever Want To Have A Weak Episode Of Television With My Name On It.
