You know, it is a terrible thing to appear on television, because people think that you actually know what you're talking about.

I think in my job, it's quite difficult to find work on television... you don't necessarily want to get a profile for something that you don't fully believe in.

You can have ambiguity in television that you are not allowed in film... at least in Hollywood studio films.

I would never want my name on something that I did not write most of. Part of television is you get rewritten.

You can be far more challenging, articulate and intelligent writing for television than you can writing for the cinema.

I know it sounds hokey but I think, ultimately, on television you can't hide who you are.

I've done episodic television and some other things that have been written by other people.

I don't like the way I ever appear on TV.

I never see things I make in the same way that the audience does. You can never do that.

There's a lot of writing in television that can sound like it's taken out of a package, and the way to get around that is to not allow yourself to deliver it that way.
