“The involvement of people at home is just broadening things.”

The power lies in who can say no the most. But, real power, though, lies in the opportunity to say yes.

This cross-section of people they just happen to bring in to decide the fate of mankind on television is really scary.

People are ready to do either, and the content has to work on both.

I know that the vitriol and hyperbole that exists online, and the anonymity, can be deadly because it’s cloaked in negativity and it’s brutal sometimes.

More and more people are watching entertainment on their phones.

And then, there are the producers and the writers and the director on the other side of the glass, and what they want.

You have to be malleable to what’s going to work, and you have to stay in the framework of the context.

I wasn’t really a big comic book guy, growing up. I watched cartoons, but the choices were a whole heck of a lot slimmer.

If you ever go behind the glass and look at the focus groups that are deciding what you’re gonna watch, it’s scary.

People ultimately get what they deserve on TV.

I think people ultimately realize that, but not when they’re in the spotlight.

But there are people who are way better at it than I am.

What people end up watching is what the advertising end up glomming onto and promoting.

You really have to bring your game and know what you want to do.

The thing is, when you put a button in someone’s hand and give them the power of yes or no is a shorter word. People just say no.

For me, every translation is a new book, with the translator inevitably broadening the meaning of the original book in any translation.
