I think a great negotiator is an aggressive negotiator, and we're aggressive negotiators, We're not worried about someone coming at us.

I'd quit my job at a production company and was like, 'I'm going to be a writer...' I became a temp, and it was the mid-nineties, when there was the Internet boom, and the normal group of graduates ready to fill in didn't exist.

The key is that when we disagree, we really hear the other one out and agree that there is a more elegant solution than one of us 'winning.'

I always think there's this thing, when you live in New York, like, this unspoken agreement between everyone who lives there, like, 'We're sticking this out. It's the hardest place to live, but it's the best city in the world, so we are all going to do this together.'
