Garry Shandling has always been a pioneer of… meta entertainment. He's always been a defender of the creative right to use the frame as part of the painting.
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.
I wish that television would stop selling our hatred of ourselves, and start seducing us with our love of ourselves.
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.
Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.
I am a collaborator with everyone who agrees that I need to be in control. I happily collaborate with my loyalists.
I've never done well when I've been appreciated. I've done best when I'm targeted for death.
I was raised on NBC television.
It's so difficult to write good music. It's also really difficult to think about how to do it without violating the sanctity of the fourth wall.
If somebody's cat happens to turn on the TV, my numbers can double. It's almost unrelated to what's really happening.
Technology changes the medium. I grew up on watching a box in my living room that made my parents happy. After something is gone, the dust will settle and I'll see what's next.
People often ask me about what constitutes a nerd-friendly show - like, does it have to have sci-fi elements? But I think it's just a show that satisfies the secret craving we all have to be obsessed with something and not feel at all stupid about it.
I care very much what the fans think. I'm starting to loosen my grip on caring about what critics say, because I think that critics care about what fans think of them, too, so there's a little bit of a refraction there, through that glass.
Eight o'clock is hard no matter what network you're on because people have to make a decision to sit down and start watching TV. Every other time slot is a time slot that happens after someone's watching something else.
