There's a lot of writing in television that can sound like it's taken out of a package, and the way to get around that is to not allow yourself to deliver it that way.

I like writing on piano and a computer, and a lot of 'Plans' came out of samples and vocal lines.

I'm sort of awkward with technology, and I think I'm the type of guy who would have something cool happen to him, and it would take, like, five days to figure out how to tweet it.

The way I navigate scenes is through what I perceive to be the emotional truth of the character: what he wants from moment to moment.

For me, writing is like being taken on a walk by a footnote: It's amazing where you end up.

I and other like-minded members will not vote for the final package when it comes back if it has drilling in the Arctic there,
