Write what you’re scared about.

I feel that people are basically trying to do their best in the world. Even when you see people making mistakes, you understand why theyre making a mistake. Everybody has flaws, everybody has demons, everybody has ghosts, but I think you watch people and you see everybody trying to do their best.

To me, when you have people trying to put their best foot forward but facing conflict, that's when stories are the most interesting.

The frustrating thing about Friday Night Lights is I know a lot more people would respond to the show if they saw it.
