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.

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

I'm going to start work on developing a series for HBO, because I'm naturally given to episodic stories of considerable length. And I won't have to listen to complaints about how wordy and long my work is if you can watch it on your telephone on the subway: You can make it conform to your day as if it were a book.

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.

If you're doing a prison show, HBO is the absolute best place in the world to be doing that because you're not going to have to do all that, you know, 'Prison Break' stuff where you can't really behave and speak like people do in a maximum-security prison.

I was lucky on 'Arli$$.' I basically got to do whatever I wanted because HBO is great for that.

I really was interested in doing something for a premium channel like Showtime or HBO, just because you get to really let loose. I think they let their storylines go wherever they want, and it's really a special place to work.

I think HBO seems to have an extraordinary clever knack of catching the pulse of its audience. It really, really knows its audience.

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

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