More quotes by Dan Harmon
I was raised on NBC television.
Dan Harmon
Once upon a time, something happened, and it was better than something not happening. The end.
Dan Harmon
You don’t give someone notes on their performance at a soup kitchen.
Dan Harmon
There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.
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
All [tv] shows are like cigarettes. You watch two, you have a higher chance of watching three. They're all addictive.
Dan Harmon
TV tends to be like, if you're lucky, it's like Las Vegas. You can't get out. There's always another pitch meeting. They keep you on the casino floor. If I'm unlucky, if I'm lucky enough to be unlucky, I would love to write a movie.
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
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
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
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
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
I love 30 Rock. It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
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
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
Yoda is interesting because, in addition to being wise, he is two feet tall, and a Yoda.
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
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
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
