Quotes
- “I hope I am pigeonholed with comedy. I’m really not interested in writing the darker stuff, the emotional stuff.”
- “I recently had to wait two and a half hours in a doctor's office, just waiting to be seen. I literally was genuinely thinking "Well, maybe this is a time loop", because nothing seemed to be happening, no progress of any kind seemed to be being made, so I think we've all fallen into those time loops.”
- “Moonlighting was funny, innovative, genre-busting chaos. Also, apparently, unsustainable. Sigh.”
- “Movies are always made by committees, and the writer is not at the head of the committee. Thus, mush.”
- “I watch a lot of TV, but I find that recently it’s largely oddball stuff … Scripted stuff sometimes feels like homework, like I'm scoping out the competition or something.”
- “Any story worth telling relates to real life in some meaningful way. Scifi allows you to tell meaningful stories without seeming too preachy — it adds a metaphorical layer between the story and the real world. Scifi is dismissed as ungrounded fluff, but it's actually the opposite.”
