More quotes by Dan Harmon
I've discovered a new video game called owning my home.
Dan Harmon
The most rewarding part of writing for TV is - a year ago I would have said it's just watching it on TV, it's just having been done with it and then collecting all that energy.
Dan Harmon
Technology changes the medium. I grew up on watching a box in my living room that made my parents happy. After something is gone, the dust will settle and I'll see what's next.
Dan Harmon
I was playing the game where I was going to be a great TV or film writer some day and there was nothing else that I thought about, including other people.
Dan Harmon
Always hedge your bets. That's how I do it. I lay all my bets on what I can contribute, and suffer no illusions that I'm generating stuff by myself.
Dan Harmon
With an animated show you can make a banana purple. You can put three hats on a cowboy. That would require several days of stitching, in live-action, that you wouldn't be able to afford. I mean, you can just do tons and tons and tons.
Dan Harmon
All [tv] shows are like cigarettes. You watch two, you have a higher chance of watching three. They're all addictive.
Dan Harmon
Once upon a time, something happened, and it was better than something not happening. The end.
Dan Harmon
I walk with God, and He protects me. That may very well be true. I don't mean to make that sound like a joke, in case He is in charge.
Dan Harmon
The public's perception of your show is what it is, and you don't get to complain how people perceive your show or talk about it.
Dan Harmon
I grew up on network sitcoms. If those are gone when I'm 65 years old, I would never forgive myself for not stepping up to that plate, as often as possible. I'm already bummed out that DVDs are dying off because, in my 20s, those were a huge thing.
Dan Harmon
With media, it's never bad-to-good. It's always just moving from different to different. Faster, more stuff, but there's always good, more good, and more bad.
Dan Harmon
None of us are bad people. We float around and we run across each other and we learn about ourselves, and we make mistakes and we do great things. We hurt others, we hurt ourselves, we make others happy and we please ourselves. We can and should forgive ourselves and each other for that.
Dan Harmon
Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.
Dan Harmon
Yoda is interesting because, in addition to being wise, he is two feet tall, and a Yoda.
Dan Harmon
You don’t give someone notes on their performance at a soup kitchen.
Dan Harmon
Everyone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.
Dan Harmon
If somebody's cat happens to turn on the TV, my numbers can double. It's almost unrelated to what's really happening.
Dan Harmon
When you are in the 8 o'clock position, you can either be a cultural phenomenon, or you're endangered. It's a tough time slot.
Dan Harmon
The 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.
