Strong Short Story
"Sometimes you might think of TV as writing a long novel, but it's kind of not. You have to do a very strong short story to start with."
Listen to the Demands of the Story
"If elements of my own life sift themselves into the plot, it's because they feel organic to the story I am telling—a story that distinctly belongs to the characters and not to me. I try to listen to the demands of the story and stay true to them."
Tell a Story
"Sometimes it's as simple as that. Tell a story. Tell it simply and directly. Tell us what happened."
