In television, the 60-minute series, 'The Wire' and 'Mad Men' and so on, the writer is the primary creative artist.

Matthew Wiener on 'Mad Men' writes the entire series before they start shooting, and if you have that, then what you can do with character and story is not at all unlike what you can do in a novel.

I was a switchboard operator on the first season of 'Mad Men.' I was the oldest and bitterest.

I never stepped foot into a Brooks Brothers before 'Mad Men.'

You came here because we do this better than you and part of that is letting our creatives be unproductive until they are.

'Mad Men' has been my big break. I'm beyond thrilled.
