Good writers hate bad writing but hating bad writing doesn’t make you good. Writing badly does.
You have to just look at it like Titanic: I know the ship sinks, but this is a love story
I say what's in my head, and I'm on honest ground. That is worth so much, and I think it does make my job, as a writer, easier. It makes it possible for me to give people stuff that they like.
I've discovered a new video game called owning my home.
The concept of doing holiday episodes is a huge part of what's fantastic about doing TV. And viewers agree; you see the numbers going up for holiday episodes.
There's the same percentage of genius happening in both genders, but there's less women writing scripts and out there looking for the job.
I think thoughts in my head bounce around in my skull and, if they keep bouncing around in my skull, they get worse and worse. When they come out of my mouth, they make people happy.
If your ratings are high and there's money being made, you're allowed to be a perfectionist in television.
There are no normal people, there are just different kinds of weird
I don't really have a lot of appropriate feelings for people on an individual basis, but I've always wanted to make people happy.
I surround myself with loyalists and people that I would die for. I just would rather die than make bad stuff for people because I'm a terrible dishwasher and a terrible lover and a terrible pet owner.
I wish that television would stop selling our hatred of ourselves, and start seducing us with our love of ourselves.
I was raised on NBC television.
I don't think it's going to be possible for the next generation of writers to tell stories without telling stories about telling stories.
