There are writers' rooms that will write episodes all together, who will break into little groups and write certain scenes. Everyone's process can be a little bit malleable. Everyone tries to get into a groove or find what works for their room.

If you're a writer, the insight of other writers - if there's some kind of Holy Grail message on how to deal with writer's block or how to deal with any problem that can come up - whether you're writing about yourself or a group of people, I find that very interesting.

I think the networks, in general, have to evaluate what's happening around them. I'm sure they're scared about a lot of things: Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, and all these places that allow people to watch shows in chunks.

When you're talking about people like Shonda Rhimes, Vince Gilligan or Beau Willimon, you're talking to people who are notable and celebrities in their own right. People want to know how their brains work.

On the personal level, the people that follow you on Twitter are always nice to hear from.

I loved 'Dungeons & Dragons'. That was actually a good cartoon to me.

In television, the writer-creator-showrunner is embraced as the creative mind.

I was raised, I feel like, on television, definitely a child of TV, and was always fascinated by storytelling.

For there to be a 'Community' movie just seems like an appropriate way for the show to go out. That would be my perfect end.

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.

Some people will ruin a movie for you if they enthuse too much.

I can't wait to meet Steven Spielberg or Al Pacino again so I can say, 'I have to tell you how you know me. You know me because I am the worst actor in the world.'

Look at people that influenced me - but I didn't know if I had that sort of 'I'm going to take you under my wing' person.

I think the community that's created within a writers' room is a very interesting topic.

You'd just die if you put your head to the grindstone.

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.

I think what's wonderful is that 'Community' has always had its voice, has always had it's vision, and that started from the very beginning.

A sketch is just a mini movie.

I remember lying on the floor of my room, staring at a black-and-white television for most of the '80s - watching 'Diff'rent Strokes,' 'Facts of Life,' 'Silver Spoons,' Saturday morning cartoons, and 'Murder, She Wrote' while eating an insane amount of Stouffer's French bread pizza. I was sucked into it all.

The passion to explore and not be afraid to fail - that's something I will always attribute to the Groundlings.

As long as a teaser saves some things, that's good.

I am always up to steal secrets from smart people.

There's always something exciting about small change.

'Dexter,' while the pilot shares moments with the novel that created the character of Dexter, they completely abandoned the book from that moment on.

When you get onstage, you can see everyone in the audience's face, down to the detail. You can see who may or may not be yawning.
