I joked recently that I thought 30 seconds a day for three years would be the best way to enjoy it, and I'm going to stand by that statement.

More quotes by Mitchell Hurwitz
We started gearing our content more to what makes us laugh and stories we wanted to tell, and we had to decide, early on, to not be precious about it.
Mitchell Hurwitz
But, you have to watch them in order. That's very important because, as it turns out, stories have to be told in order. It's like reading a novel. There are times when it's tiring. And then, you get hooked and it's a page-turner, and you really want to keep reading. I do think there will be some fatigue that sets in.
Mitchell Hurwitz
They say to just write about what's happening in your backyard because that's where you find the most creativity. It's in the DNA of the show. There's no question.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I will tell you that we're all human beings, and we all care about what people think of us. But in general, their outlook is, We're not looking at opening night numbers. We're not looking at opening night box office. We want this to be part of the reason you come to our service.
Mitchell Hurwitz
One of the things I liked about bringing this show back was that it gives people something to look forward to. In doing the show, I was very aware that some people will watch it all in one night, but there is enough that it will be fun to re-watch. Hopefully, people will be laughing a lot.

One of the best ways into the business is to get a job with a production, which you can do by cold-calling or by getting your résumé out there, and also through contacts. That's where nepotism really helps.
Mitchell Hurwitz
Television is so much about continuing to work with people.
Mitchell Hurwitz
The TV industry works in this crazy system where everybody's trying to get the same actors at the same time.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I think everybody wants to be loved, all the time, but it's not realistic. It's also not realistic, if you're going to be ambitious, in terms of changing the form or evolving.
Mitchell Hurwitz
The form came out of the function because it is for the audience that already knows the show, while hoping to get a new audience, too.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I think that timing is everything. At first, it was too soon. And then, the time was right, but I was busy with other things, and the cast was busy with other things. By the time we sat down to work on the movie, enough time had passed that suddenly a different story emerged.
Mitchell Hurwitz
There were a couple times when we started working out the stories - and I was doing this with Jim Vallely and our friend Dean Lorey, who was on the show originally - and we were working on a movie. There would be some fan fiction things that would scoop us. It happened a couple times, where I thought, Well, we can't do that!
Mitchell Hurwitz
I always liked magic. I was always embarrassed by liking magic because I liked the fact that they're just lying.
Mitchell Hurwitz
The people that always impress me are the ones that are curious about what they're going to do next.
Mitchell Hurwitz
Regret is a tricky word. Here's a big secret: nobody knows what wasn't.
Mitchell Hurwitz
It's very hard, I think, for critics to write positive reviews, because there's not that much to say about something you like. You can kind of say 'I really like that band' and then if you're forced to fill up the rest of an article, you've got to start saying heady things. It's much easier to say negative things in a review.
Mitchell Hurwitz
People have outs for numbers of episodes, usually, written into their contract. Some studios will say, We're going to let Julia Louis-Dreyfus off of Veep to do three episodes, but not three episodes of the same show. But, that's all business affairs, so I'm talking over my head here.
Mitchell Hurwitz
We mapped out the whole movie, and then worked backwards from that to do these shows. It might not be a movie. It might be something else.
Mitchell Hurwitz
It's much easier to say negative things in a review.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I think of there being two conditions that creative people go through. I think it's fear and curiosity.
