I've imparted that philosophy to the writers, but some of them look stuff up while some don't. Same with the editors, directors and actors. To each their own.

Let the audience put 2 and 2 together so that it comes up with 4. Let them do that themselves, and they'll love you forever.

I wanna keep being productive and creative.

It's weird how with a TV show, you don't have just the one ending - you have the many.

I love cable, but not because you can show boobies and say the F-word. I love it because you have more time to think. That's the blessing of it.
