Writing is the greatest thing about really good sitcoms.

There's such good writing now on television and I don't see a lot of great writing on films sadly.

It makes it harder to write if I watch a lot of television, because television is not like a written story.

A good TV writer needs all the same tricks a good novelist has.

TV is the place that writers want to be.

There's exceptional work being done on television. Some of our great writers are writing for television. When you have things to choose from, you typically go after the writing - unless you're going after the money. There are fewer opportunities in film to make money with good writing, unless you're an action hero.

TV is a different animal these days. You can bring together really smart writing and directing, in-depth character development and really meaty political and emotional stories.

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

I believe what makes great television is wanting to watch particular characters.

TV is a writer's medium.
