Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.
A lot of people looked at the Fox pilot and said, 'We don't think it needs to be this pretty; can't you make it simpler?' They really get and appreciate everything I'm trying to do here.
they're not really thrilled about it, but I keep trying to push them.
As long as they let me, I guess.
that's what late-night cable is for, I guess. You don't have to hear it at 8 o'clock, but you sure can hear it at 11:30, or 11 o'clock, on Adult Swim, if you so desire -- it will be there for you.
This isn't the n---a show. N---a, n---a, n---a, n---a, n---a. I just wish we would expand the dialogue and evolve past the same conversation that we've had over the past 30 years about race in our country. & I just hope to expand the dialogue and hope the show will challenge people to think about things they wouldn't normally think about, or think about it in a very different way.
It astounds me that good, responsible white people paid for this show.
Oprah has the power to lay waste to entire industries with a mere utterance. That's a power that you have to respect. And ultimately I respect it.
Every well needs occasional refreshing. I hope that this fall you will agree that the time away from the demands of deadlines has served the strip, your readers and me.
I figure it will either be a big hit or a massive flop; there is no room for in between,
