creator tv
The director in TV and the writer and the creator are working very much hand in hand.
characters dense manageable novels series shrink slightly taking trying
'Game of Thrones' is taking dense novels and trying to shrink it all down to a slightly manageable series in the sense that there are so many characters and so many locations.
created
I think the community that's created within a writers' room is a very interesting topic.
definitely fascinated
I was raised, I feel like, on television, definitely a child of TV, and was always fascinated by storytelling.
asking attack car life needed scale telling
One summer, when I was a kid, I was in the car with my stepfather, and he was asking me where I thought I ranked, on a scale of 1 to 10. I said, '6,' and he said, '3.' I think it was his way of telling me that I needed to get out and really attack life.
balancing people
I think that... I would say that sometimes people get afraid of when you're balancing comedy and drama.
good
As long as a teaser saves some things, that's good.

I will say you could always look at 'Looney Tunes' and learn about writing. I think you can learn a lot about the beats of comedy. I think you can find out about awkward pauses, because I think they did those well.

I've certainly been someone who has loved to mine the trials and tribulations of growing up in general, and the people who are in our lives, and I don't mind pulling from them and writing things down on my phone that my family says.
communication disconnect far fear huge interact issue itself time
I think there's a fear of disconnect sometimes; communication is a huge issue for all of us, from adults to kids, as far as our face-to-face time and our ability to interact with each other without isolating itself to a phone. I think that has to be something that's very challenging.
embraced
In television, the writer-creator-showrunner is embraced as the creative mind.
