Tags: Hard, Someone, TimeI care very much what the fans think. I'm starting to loosen my grip on caring about what critics say, because I think that critics care about what fans think of them, too, so there's a little bit of a refraction there, through that glass.
Tags: Bit, Care, CaringI think women are different, and I think having them in the room is crucial to a family comedy, ensemble comedy, television comedy, where half the eyeballs on your show are women.
Tags: Family, Show, WomenMy passion for 'Star Trek' is actually rooted in my love of television and the art of franchise and a premise designed to stick people together that have to figure out what to do.
Tags: Art, Love, PassionPeople often ask me about what constitutes a nerd-friendly show - like, does it have to have sci-fi elements? But I think it's just a show that satisfies the secret craving we all have to be obsessed with something and not feel at all stupid about it.
Tags: Often, Show, StupidThe concept of doing holiday episodes is a huge part of what's fantastic about doing TV. And viewers agree; you see the numbers going up for holiday episodes.
Tags: Fantastic, Holiday, TvWell, the average person comes home from work really tired, and just wants to flip through channels until they land on the thing that's the least objectionable to them. They're not looking for their new favorite TV show because they know that that search will take forever and they'll go to bed unhappy.

Tags: Classic, Growing, ShowsEveryone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.
Tags: Everyone, Knows, ShowI am a collaborator with everyone who agrees that I need to be in control. I happily collaborate with my loyalists.
Tags: Control, Everyone, HappilyI am absolutely and inherently self-destructive in that I am always making sure I'm doing what I want to do.
Tags: Absolutely, Making, SureI don't really have a lot of appropriate feelings for people on an individual basis, but I've always wanted to make people happy.
Tags: Feelings, Happy, WantedI don't think it's going to be possible for the next generation of writers to tell stories without telling stories about telling stories.
Tags: Next, Possible, TellI feel like my life has always been the 'Hey Look at Me Show.' I'm not apologetic about that.
Tags: Hey, Life, ShowI love '30 Rock.' It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
Tags: Love, Rock, WritingI really like performing for people.
