Matt Weiner is an amazing writer. He's one of the best, greatest writers that's ever written for television - or just written.
I was in Los Angeles in 1968, and I was fortunate enough to be a writer on 'Laugh-In' and a couple of other television shows.
[Noah Hawley] just a fantastic writer. It's always about the script, it's always about the book; it always is. If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage. That's what attracted me to him first and foremost.
I really want to interview Larry David.
I love Andre Braugher, and I'm a big fan of Shawn Ryan.
I met Harry Thomason when I signed on with 20th Century Fox in 1985.
Carl Reiner particularly as a writer, a terrific writer. He's just turning out things.
Joss Whedon who created 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer,' 'Angel,' and all that... he is a genius.
I have talent crushes on Fred Armisen and Kyle Mooney.
In television, the writer-creator-showrunner is embraced as the creative mind.
If I got into TV, I'd want to be the best.
I think Amy Sherman-Palladino has a very specific voice; it's unlike anyone else on television.

Vince Gilligan is a wizard - and a fantastically hard-working wizard.
One identity is as a television writer, which is very classically Southern California, but another of my personae is as a New Yorker cartoonist.
Ryan Murphy is one of the best at creating universes.
[Black-ish creator] Kenya Bariss wrote on Girlfriends. We've been friendly since then. He sent me [the pilot] and said, "I wrote it for you." But I know what that means in this industry.
Frank Sebastiano is a real write. He has two Emmys, one from 'SNL' and the other from 'The Chris Rock Show' . The only award I have is an FM-mmy.
I wanted to be a film and television writer and producer.
Because I was a television writer for many years, I write very conversationally. I put things straight, and with a lot of humor.
Shakespeare is the Joss Whedon of his generation.
Emily Kapnek's such a great writer, producer, creator.
Graham Yost is a genius, and I know that very well because we worked together on 'Band of Brothers' and 'Boomtown.'
