Screenwriter

There are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups... but they're coming for ya. It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.

I find television, and particularly live television, very romantic: the idea that there is this small group of people, way up high, in a skyscraper in the middle of Manhattan, beaming this signal out into the night.

It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.

Musik adalah apa yang matematika lakukan pada Sabtu malam.

The rules are all in a sixty-four-page pamphlet by Aristotle called 'Poetics.' It was written almost three thousand years ago, but I promise you, if something is wrong with what you're writing, you've probably broken one of Aristotle's rules.

Writing never comes easy. The difference between Page 2 and Page Nothing is the difference between life and death.

I'm not on Facebook, and I don't tweet, but I know plenty of people who love both.

I like writing idealistically, romantically and swashbucklingly.

I desperately need the love of complete strangers. That's one reason I overtip. I love when skycaps, waiters, and valets are happy to see me.

I've never written anything that I haven't wanted to write again. I want to, and still am, writing 'A Few Good Men' again. I didn't know what I was doing then, and I'm still trying to get it right. I would write 'The Social Network' again if they would let me, I'd write 'Moneyball' again. I would write 'The West Wing' again.

The upside of web-based journalism is that everybody gets a chance. The downside is that everybody gets a chance.

Any time you get two people in a room who disagree about anything, the time of day, there is a scene to be written. That's what I look for.

I have all of the Apple products. Everything I've ever written, I've written on a Mac. My first computer, my roommates and I chipped in, and we got that first Macintosh - 128K. It had as much memory as a greeting card that plays music.

Tanggung jawab kami adalah memikat Anda, betapapun lama kami meminta perhatian Anda. Yang mengatakan, ada drama luar biasa yang didapat dari masalah besar, apa yang akan Anda katakan, berat.

I do not speak through my characters; it's not a ventriloquist act.

Itu dihuni oleh orang-orang yang, pada umumnya, memiliki keterampilan komunikasi yang hebat. Setiap hari adalah hari yang luar biasa. Bagi saya, itu hanya bidang yang bagus untuk bercerita.

I'm crazy about 'Breaking Bad,' but I wouldn't know how to write an episode of it.

When I was starting out, William Goldman took me under his wing, and he's still the person I show pages to.

Whether it's 'The West Wing' or anything else, my first thought is always, 'What's a good story?'

I am truly at my happiest not when I am writing an aria for an actor or making a grand political or social point. I am at my happiest when I've figured out a fun way for somebody to slip on a banana peel.
