Hindsight Is 20/20, But The Moral Of The Writing For Me Is That When You're Feeling Very Scared And Nervous About Something And You're Fairly Convinced That It Could Be A Massive Disaster, That's Exactly The Idea That You Should Do.

I Think One Of The Problems In Determining The Ending For A Television Series Is That You Don't Know How Long The Show Is Gonna Last. Particularly Because We Were In The Unique Position Of Adapting Tom's Perrotta Novel The Leftovers, It Always Felt Like The First Season Was Gonna End With The End Of Tom's Novel, And Then We Would Figure Things Out From There And Look Back.

I Look At Myself More As A Storyteller Than A Screenwriter, As Pretentious As That May Sound, But That's What Really Attracts Me To Ted Talks. For Me, The Really Effective Ones Are Being Presented By Expert Storytellers.

I Think That We, As Writers, Get Excited By Risk. When We Are Feeling Comfortable And Familiar, I Wouldn't Say That We Get Bored, But The Energy In The Room Gets Flat. When We're Most Excited And When The Show Is The Most Fun, It's When We're Duking Things Out.

I Think The Idea That Television Has Evolved To This Place Of Real Thematic Richness And The Fact That You No Longer Have To Get 10 Million People To Watch Your Show In Order To Propagate Its Survival Are The Best Things That Have Ever Happened To Storytelling In This Medium.
