I Don't Want My Writing To Be

I Would Say On A Creative Level I Put A Lot Of Pressure On Myself.

Cheers Was One Of The First Shows Where I Paid Attention To The Writers Because Their [work] Was Better Than Everything Else I Was Watching. The Writers Weren't Afraid To Let A Joke Fall Slightly Flat If It Advanced The Characters.

I Always Think It's Better To Take Your Time And Go Through A Lot Of Ideas - And Dismiss A Lot Of Ideas - Before Figuring Out Where To Land. It's A Good Way To Care For Your Audience, Too. If You Spend Hours And Hours And Days And Weeks Coming Up With The Ending, Then There's A Chance The Fans Won't Figure It Out On Their Own.

I'm Perfectly Happy To Color Within The Network Lines When I Have To.

I've Worked In Network And Cable On And Off For A Number Of Years, And You Just Understand What Your Parameters Are. A Lot Of Times, I Think The Best Work That My Team Has Come Up With Comes From Having To Deal With Certain Boundaries.
