[Television] is a great medium for writers, because there's just no time for a studio to interfere very long. You write it, you shoot it; it's on TV.
TV is the place that writers want to be. When you don't have a very strong indie market going on, talented writers want to have their voice heard, so they'll go somewhere else, and everyone goes to TV because their voices are heard.
I do want to do TV, but I'm looking to be a creator, writer, and producer, and perhaps I could be a recurring character. Do 10 shows a year, something like that.
I left Disney in 2000 because I thought that the process of watching TV was really going to change, and the process of creating it and the business model had to change, too.
Truly, the only stupid people I've ever met, the most absolutely clueless, are the very people that produce television.
I don't think people come to television for spectacle. And I don't really have a lot of fun writing spectacle for television, I'll do that in features.
I think when it comes to television as opposed to film, the producers really are the writers. We work with people who are purely financial producers.
