Plan for each episode to be a satisfying experience, but still leave the audience thinking, 'Oh, my God! Now what?'

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

We worked under a lot of pressure... three days to do an episode, sometimes two in a week, 39 episodes a year.

They've got to deliver twenty-six episodes a season and they're not going to beat their heads up against a wall if they feel something didn't, like, pan out the way they had hoped.

I honestly feel like we never had a bad episode by TV standards. Every week I felt there were so many strong components of the show, especially the writing.

We never thought the show would last this long.

The greatest preparation for a TV show is to already have one season behind you.

I don't want there to be a typical episode of 'The Walking Dead.' I want to try to give people different things every week because that's what I dig.

I just finished an episode of a new show called 'Century City.' It's like 'Law & Order' set in the future, and I have a very dramatic role in that. I have to sob and weep and wail. It was very hard. When it was done, I was like, 'OK, time to watch 'SpongeBob!'
