Identity is part of drama to me. Who am I, why am I behaving this way, and am I aware of it?
From Matthew Weiner
I had a realization in the midst of my happy marriage that I had kind of lost most of my friends - my male friends in particular. And I started wondering if my wife, who was certainly my best friend, supplanted those relationships.
I'm in the entertainment business, where you're only as good as your last show.
My wife's an architect, so she definitely has a very high-risk artistic profession, and she gets the idea that you're really sensitive, you really care what people think, you have a low threshold for criticism.
As far as I can tell, 1968 is a year about change, about revolution, about violence, about people turning inwards as community breaks down.
I'm very supportive of creative people being paid for the work that they do.
It's very hard to turn writers against each other, believe it or not.
I am a competitive person. But more good TV is more good TV.
If you've ever had somebody try to sell you something - people who can sell, they really are not manipulating you. They are selling themselves.
This sounds really craven on some level, but on some level, a lot of what I'm doing is trying to not do a typical TV show.
