Writing for television is completely different from movie scriptwriting. A movie is all about the director's vision, but television is a writer's medium.

The only way artists can do things is to do it for themselves. Trying to second guess what the public wants or likes is kind of a fool's game.

Your audience is one single reader. I have found that sometimes it helps to pick out one person-a real person you know, or an imagined person and write to that one.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

Genres aren't closed boxes. Stuff flows back and forth across the borders all the time.

We are trying to communicate that which lies in our deepest heart, which has no words, which can only be hinted at through the means of a story. And somehow, miraculously, a story that comes from deep in my heart calls from a reader that which is deepest in his or her heart, and together from our secret hidden selves we create a story that neither of us could have told alone.
