You want good ratings, you want people to like the show, you want to be appreciated for the hard work you put in. You don't always get it. Every show is not beloved.

Maybe I'm a little biased, but shows like 'Dexter' and 'Southland,' I'm just enthralled by that sort of storytelling, kind of clever and patient.

I still feel driven to try to make great shows and to make each episode great.

Like any show, I think some episodes are going to be stronger than others, but I think it's a good show that people enjoy and I hear the reactions too.

I don't enjoy reality television at all. I have to say that I get it, though. I watch some of it, and I understand why people enjoy it.

My opinion can be completely different after a show.

It's an honor to have been part of something so core to so many lives. The show has evolved beyond it's original intent and form and has transcended... itself!

There are very few people who really appreciate my shows. People come to the show and they pay and they enjoy it, but I don't really think most people really understand what they've seen.

I think if you're not offending somebody somewhere, then your show is probably just very bland and boring.

I respect the hell out of everyone who does a network show. That is a marathon. It's so many episodes, and it can be a meat grinder. Anyone making a network show, and on top of that making a very good network show, that's an insane feat of Herculean endurance and fortitude.
