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.

For Sony, owning a studio is a gamble and probably a pretty good one, now that in the broadband era having content is a great advantage when you sell devices that in a ubiquitous world of distribution can actually show programs, movies, content directly to the consumer. So that you actually create, in a digital world, real synergy.

I think especially with the Internet and the amount of reality shows that are going on, there's no way to keep a secret anymore, so I try to let my project be as much as reality show as I can allow it to be.

The internet is a total inversion of television. It's the opposite.

We all have Tumblr, and we all have Instagram and everything. People care so much about it because, now, any random can be famous on the Internet if their world looks good on Tumblr. And so everyone at high school strives for this kind of aesthetic correctness.
