As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.

I like a certain style of show, I like a certain pace, I like a rhythm, I like a lot of comedy in with my drama.

People have nannies and big cars, and they want to go to Maui for Christmas. When there are those kind of stakes involved, people get ruthless.

Life doesn't tend to fix things or wrap them up in bows.

To me, crazy is not someone who has a creative vision and will fight for it.

When you write for a show that's not yours, your job is to hear the voices of the characters and write as best you can for those voices.

Every pilot I've ever written, I've fallen deeply and madly in love with. It's the only way I work.

TV is all about speed. TV is fast and furious. It's gunslinger territory.

These television shows that have 14 shots of somebody looking at each other with the wind blowing through their hair drive me insane.

If we based everything in Hollywood on who was a nice guy, holy moly, we would have no movies. No actors would work. This is not an industry that is ruled by kindness and generosity.

The whole world is out of time!

Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.

I had fallen in love with a perfect lie.

All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.

I think in some instances that the death penalty is required.

I don't get recognised in London or at home either - very seldom anyway. Either that or I look so crazy no one wants to come up to me.

Too much looking backward ... is bad for progress.

I've had a lot of struggles with depression. It's very easy for me to go to a bleak place, or for me to doubt humanity, myself, the world, my choices.

For me, Love is something very pure.

You know what I'm afraid of? That God is sick of us.

Less is more when you do a bright, bold lip. Just draw on black liner and some mascara and you're good to go!
