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.
If your ratings are high and there's money being made, you're allowed to be a perfectionist in television.
I am a collaborator with everyone who agrees that I need to be in control. I happily collaborate with my loyalists.
There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.
I love '30 Rock.' It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
I'd just love to sit at home, wake up at 10AM, go to my own office with my dog, and write a movie. I don't know if I'm capable of doing that though. I think I'll just end up playing Minecraft and self-destructing.
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.
TV tends to be like, if you're lucky, it's like Las Vegas. You can't get out. There's always another pitch meeting. They keep you on the casino floor. If I'm unlucky, if I'm lucky enough to be unlucky, I would love to write a movie.
The most rewarding part of writing for TV is - a year ago I would have said it's just watching it on TV, it's just having been done with it and then collecting all that energy.
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.
I always try to use my medium, and if I get into a normal sitcom-writing contest with normal sitcom writers, I'm going to lose.
I was playing the game where I was going to be a great TV or film writer some day and there was nothing else that I thought about, including other people.
If somebody's cat happens to turn on the TV, my numbers can double. It's almost unrelated to what's really happening.
