I guess because I'm a liberal I think it's not people's natural instinct to be completely self-interested.
From Matthew Weiner
It's an ugly thing to see ambition and to see people satisfying themselves.
I would never want my name on something that I did not write most of. Part of television is you get rewritten.
If you want to reach any kind of poignancy or meaning a lot of times, coming from comedy is the best way to get there.
In movies and TV, we tend to fall into tropes about how characters might get out of problems. But when you look at real life, you realize that there is a lot of drama of not being able to get out of the problems.
Believe it or not, there's a lot of humor in 'Mad Men.' Especially in the dark moments.
