More quotes by Dan Harmon
Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.
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
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
Good writers hate bad writing but hating bad writing doesn’t make you good. Writing badly does.
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
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 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
There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.
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
I feel like my life has always been the 'Hey Look at Me Show.' I'm not apologetic about that.
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.
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
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
Everyone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.
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
You don’t give someone notes on their performance at a soup kitchen.
Dan Harmon
I think thoughts in my head bounce around in my skull and, if they keep bouncing around in my skull, they get worse and worse. When they come out of my mouth, they make people happy.
Dan Harmon
Everything I do, in the middle of it, I lose all objectivity. The business of comedy is kind of ridiculous in that respect. Your job is to have a lot of fun in a jar, then sell it. There's something inherently illogical and impossible about that, but that being said, this is as good as it gets.
Dan Harmon
Yoda is interesting because, in addition to being wise, he is two feet tall, and a Yoda.

I've discovered a new video game called owning my home.
