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

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.

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

Write what you’re scared about.
