| Quotes | ||
Most development doesn't make it to series. So you want the writer
and director to have a really good experience with development because,
if it doesn't work out, you want to work with them again. You have to
know their work really well, know the drafts really well, and when you
give notes, you need to have really thought them through. |
||
| You have to be a strong advocate of the shows you believe in. Sometimes those skills are very similar to agenting.. |
||
|
The hunger for knowing is what excites me. I get to geek out about
editing, be on set, give notes to writers - I love it all. |
||
| Not every show needs to reach the same size of audience, or same width, of a 'Sopranos'.. |
||
| It was the best way to learn the business; it's Darwinian yet also a meritocracy.. |
||
|
It's funny to her that the show was so controversial in how it
depicted sex and nudity. But I do think the honesty is nothing we've
ever seen before, and the ability to talk about the awkwardness is
revolutionary. I really envy Lena's level of self-possession at such a
young age.. |
||
|
The best part of my job is that we can be making shows like
'Boardwalk', 'Thrones', 'True Blood' but also female-centered comedies
like 'Enlightened', 'Veep' and 'Girls'. |
||
| I'm actually totally the prude of my family.. |
||
| I throw on a dress and heels and I'm good to go.. |
||
| Marketing is designed to bring people into something... | ||
