“Even after 20 years, you’re always learning.”

Jed Mercurio

“There’s nothing more powerful to a showrunner than a truly invested writer.”

Vince Gilligan

“It’s important to have people who are absolutely willing to say you’re wrong or who have a totally different perspective than you do on everything. Fresh ideas are hard to come by, and good ones are even harder.”
