I'm an HBO subscriber, and I watch a bunch of great shows on HBO.

HBO is really famous for hiring good people and staying out of their way until they ask for help, or need it. And that reputation is earned.

What's so valuable about HBO is they tell stories. We learn from stories.

I just love shows that don't hand everything to you, that ask you to be smarter. I think that's something really important that HBO has done to change the landscape of TV.

It's nice that HBO is in business with the audience and not with the advertisers. There's a difference.

'Game of Thrones' is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.

In the U.S., HBO is a very aggressive service.

What's great about HBO is they just care about quality. They care about the brand. They're not worried about ratings; obviously they want people to buy subscriptions, but they just want people to be into what's on HBO.

I forget sometimes that I'm in the HBO stable because I am such a fan of so much of their programming. Like, 'The Wire' is my favorite TV show of all time.

I'm on record saying that HBO is the best television company in the world, and I believe they are. I think they absolutely understand how to make television that is really, really vital and interesting and visceral, and all the things that television really should be.
