Kevin Reilly

It's really the rare creator who can tell you where he's going to end the season of 22 episodes. That's not bad. That's part of the creative exploration.

I do believe that the audience is capable of embracing quality. But a lot of times, they'll be like, 'Why isn't there ever anything good on TV? Put something good on.' 'Uh, if you watched this, it would help.'

What the hell is pilot season? It's an artificial boundary that makes no sense, and it makes you do things under duress.

As an industry, when you're in the talent business, we are way too obsessed on the competition with each other and not enough with the consumer.

The resilience of narrative storytelling and people's love affair with television is impressive.

I've respected the people that I've worked for, and they've been supportive and respectful of me.

It's very nice to be part of an organization that you enjoyed and respected.

While I felt like we potentially had something really huge in 'Gotham,' you're always nervous that it won't live up.

I love my job, but I'd really love my job if I didn't have to live and die by ratings every day.

I love talent because they are passionate. They can be emotional and irrational and unpredictable... and that's okay, because all we want is something exciting on the page and on the screen.

Fringe' has been a point of pride. I share the passion for the show that the fans have.
