I am trying to be as impartial as possible. As you can tell from the trailers for Mad Men, I am a person who believes that you should know nothing.

TV writing is for people who hate being alone more than they hate writing.

The show is not a history lesson or intellectual exploration. It is entertainment based on tension, irony and storytelling that is closely related to today’s life.

You don't drink and smoke that much, and womanize that much, unless you really want to be punished, I think.

It took seven years from the time I wrote Mad Men until it finally got on the screen. I lived every day with that script as if it were going to happen tomorrow. That’s the faith you have to have.

Seeing movie people trying to get into TV now who don't understand that is very interesting.

Hate is more interesting than love.

Opinions can't be inaccurate.

I'm very supportive of creative people being paid for the work that they do.

I'm in the entertainment business, where you're only as good as your last show.

Let a man fear, above all, me, his God, and so much the gentler will he become toward my creatures and animals, on whom, on account of me, their Creator, he ought to have compassion.

For they (art and music) are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.

My love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity, ~ Hazel Lancaster.

The form most contradictory to human life that can appear among the human species is the "self-satisfied man."

The only thing I'm afraid of is bees. I don't like bees. I'm allergic to them.

If I weren't acting I'd be a very unhappy, unfulfilled woman.

The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.

These days, of course, the focus of talk about popular liberation through products is mostly associated with the Internet. I've been collecting computer ads and ads dealing with Internet industries.
