I just don't see ABC letting go of soaps completely.

I watch 'Sons of Anarchy' and 'Game of Thrones' and 'The Walking Dead' and think, 'I want to create that kind of television!

Stability can be a good thing, but it can also lead to apathy. I don't want to set that example for my children. I want them to believe in their dreams and to go after them. You do that by example.

As long as I can remember, I wanted to be a writer.

I was going to be a writer. One person believed I could do it: my mom. Having her faith in me was like carrying around the Hammer of Thor.

My mom didn't write, but she loved to read. She liked books 'that made you a little nervous.' Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Peter Straub were the three wise men of our family bookshelf.

I love True Blood and Buffy, and, obviously, this is one of my favorite jobs that I've ever had - but not just because it's horror, but because the cast is so good and the writing is so great.

My work is about giving voice to the unheard, and reiterating the voice of the heard in such a way that you question, or re-examine, what is the truth.

People expect you to be this weird cartoon sometimes when you're a musician. I hate that. I hate standing out. I hate people looking at me. I just want to be part of the crowd.

I would think that would be really liberating to play like a real cad or a villain or something like that, and that's something I haven't gotten the chance to do a lot.
