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.

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.

There's a fine line between a stream of consciousness and a babbling brook to nowhere.

Good writers hate bad writing but hating bad writing doesn’t make you good. Writing badly does.

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.

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.

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
Image
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.

Everyone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.

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.

Once upon a time, something happened, and it was better than something not happening. The end.

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.

I feel like my life has always been the 'Hey Look at Me Show.' I'm not apologetic about that.

Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.

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.
