I'm not really a director or producer for hire. There's lots of big gigs out there, but I'm not looking to do that. Usually, when I'm directing or producing, I've written it myself. I'm not really trying to get on some big horse that's running through town. I just make my own stuff.

Mike White
I find as a viewer, when I go to see comedies, the strain to be funny throughout the whole thing. I start to lose my sense of reality, and it ends up feeling like an empty experience there's funny stuff in it but I've lost the emotional connection to the characters because it's just so bananas.
Mike White
There's a victory in letting go of your expectations.
Mike White
There are life lessons that can be derived from reality television.
Mike White
I used to have a road-rage issue.
Mike White
I do idiosyncratic dramedies.
Mike White
Girls' is a huge show, as far as buzz, and magazine covers, and getting a ton of copy, and awards. And yet I don't think the viewership is huge.
Mike White
I don't feel the breath of a thousand people over my shoulder.
