As a writer, it's fun to create. And once you get into a long-running show with very established characters and a very established tone and format, after a while it's a really great job, but that's what it is - a job.

I enjoy working on a series and having a long stretch of time to get to know and connect with my cast and crew. It also gives me the ability to play a character over the span of countless hours of television.

On a practical level I'm a TV producer and storyteller who's gone about as long as you can go without achieving a mass audience.

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

I love good TV shows, but it's not what I do. I kind of sculpt my films as I go along. And TV is all about writing, so you just shoot, shoot, shoot what's written.

Television is a different challenge; it is not a stage. But each opportunity that I have to learn I learn, and I take the opportunity to work.

I really enjoy doing films, but I also love television. I certainly would not be against doing some regular television work and being on a show that runs several years.

I think I get certain pleasure from writing what I'm performing.

TV is the place for writers to live. This is where you have creative control and you're constantly writing. 'Twilight' had almost a TV schedule to it. I was constantly working on these projects. There was not a whole lot of lull but I've gone onto other feature projects that's like, 'Okay, I'll get back to you on notes.'
