One thing that is true in TV is that you do hire the directors. As the writer, it's very different than in features, where you feel like, If I want this to be this way, I better direct it.

It's much, much harder working on a show than it is working on a movie. It really is. Even if you're in production, that production lasts for a set period of time. A TV show goes on for months and months and months.

The amount of work that TV writers and executives do is incredibly hard. I'm shocked that these people will hand in three outlines and two scripts, and everybody has to read them and give notes on all of them, even the writers.
