I hope to take advantage of the Netflix organism and see if there are ways to get in new material and see if there are ways to do deleted scenes.

More quotes by 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
Television is so much about continuing to work with people.
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
I always liked magic. I was always embarrassed by liking magic because I liked the fact that they're just lying.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I don't know how that budget would have been worked out, but that was the initial idea. Obviously, we couldn't have had a show with nine expensive actors in it. It was very nice that they were even interested in doing that. But, I was so proud of what we'd done that I couldn't think of a compelling reason to do a lesser version of it.
Mitchell Hurwitz
The people that always impress me are the ones that are curious about what they're going to do next.
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
Regret is a tricky word. Here's a big secret: nobody knows what wasn't.
Mitchell Hurwitz
There are a lot of things that are in the show that harken back to the old show, but I really wanted to resist doing a greatest hits. It was irresistible to do a greatest hits, but it was almost too easy. There are things that I know are still ahead of us, in the future of whatever Arrested Development brings.
Mitchell Hurwitz
We will be looking at things like the confluence of a scene, and we still have all these creative decisions to make. In general, we're going to just try to make these under a half-hour. We're going to try to take that kind of cable TV comedy model.
Mitchell Hurwitz
We figured the interesting question for them is, Where has the family been since 2006, since the last time we saw them? So, part of the time, we had to spend answering that question. Then, inevitably, it goes up to a point of crisis, in everyone's show. There was just no getting around that it was about 2006-2012.
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
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've never had a working relationship like I have with them. I developed a lot of the design of this show with them. That conversation was about, What are your needs? What are you looking for? Will this work for you guys? Will a show work where you've got one episode per character? They really were a creative partner.
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
Netflix will know everything. Netflix will know when a person stops watching it. They have all of their algorithms and will know that this person watched five minutes of a show and then stopped. They can tell by the behavior and the time of day that they are going to come back to it, based on their history.
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
I think of there being two conditions that creative people go through. I think it's fear and curiosity.
Mitchell Hurwitz
The executive producer title either means that you're the person who created, or co-created, the show, or you're the person who's in charge of day-to-day operations. Whereas producer is often just a writing credit.
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.
