TV is a completely different discipline, which I think I am still learning about. You just have to learn how to work fast and pace yourself.
I don't know if you've ever tried writing a Doctor Who story, but it's a lot more difficult than it initially appears, especially if you've got more than one assistant.
I am not interested in producing fiction for Indian television at all, the reason being that I don't understand the medium. I can be a judge or a host; I can do that as an individual. But to produce TV content, you have to know the game.
I always felt that it was easier to take a funny person and teach them to write television than to take somebody who was a television writer and make them funny.
If I write scripts that nobody likes, I don't think we'll be doing 'True Detective.'
Working in television, many times you read a script, you work on the pilot, and then you play the waiting game to see if you're able to make it a series.
I think I'd prefer to write something more youth-orientated, or something to do with people in their 20s or even 30s. 'EastEnders' spans so many generations that I think I'd find it difficult, but I'd love to have a go.
I come from a theater background, so usually, at the start, you know what happens and where the character goes and everything. But with TV, it's really unpredictable.
