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.

More quotes by Dan Harmon
Good writers hate bad writing but hating bad writing doesn’t make you good. Writing badly does.
Dan Harmon
Whereas the health of an individual depends on the ego's regular descent and return to and from the unconscious, a society's longevity depends on actual people journeying into the unknown and returning with ideas.
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
All [tv] shows are like cigarettes. You watch two, you have a higher chance of watching three. They're all addictive.
Dan Harmon
You don’t give someone notes on their performance at a soup kitchen.
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
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
There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.
Dan Harmon
Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.
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
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
Once upon a time, something happened, and it was better than something not happening. The end.
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
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've discovered a new video game called owning my home.
Dan Harmon
I love 30 Rock. It's one of my favorite shows. It's certainly the gold standard of comedy writing.
Dan Harmon
Everyone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.
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
It's so difficult to write good music. It's also really difficult to think about how to do it without violating the sanctity of the fourth wall.
