If there’s ever going to be a challenge for an actor, it’s that character who’s often evolving – which is not often the case in television.

Technology has changed, and we need to figure out how to improve the archaic way of what makes a hit, or how to determine how many viewers are watching beyond some people with Nielsen boxes...

With writing, I love doing it, but there’s that love-hate relationship: You’re not having a good run, you’ve hit a wall; it’s frustrating.

There are a lot of shows that have been saved because the fans weighed in.

Even with the fact that I grew up in North Carolina, ‘Jim Rash’ just screams ‘Southern boy.’

‘Game of Thrones’ is taking dense novels and trying to shrink it all down to a slightly manageable series in the sense that there are so many characters and so many locations.

I think there’s a fear of disconnect sometimes; communication is a huge issue for all of us, from adults to kids, as far as our face-to-face time and our ability to interact with each other...

Improv has been immensely beneficial to me as both an actor and a writer.

There are writers’ rooms that will write episodes all together, who will break into little groups and write certain scenes. Everyone’s process can be a little bit malleable. Everyone tries to get into a groove...

I’ve certainly been someone who has loved to mine the trials and tribulations of growing up in general, and the people who are in our lives, and I don’t mind pulling from them and writing...

There’s always something exciting about small change.

I like to believe we’re always looking to evolve as writers.

I can’t wait to meet Steven Spielberg or Al Pacino again so I can say, ‘I have to tell you how you know me. You know me because I am the worst actor in the...

I loved ‘Lost,’ from beginning to end.

In a weird way, the drama behind the stage was sort of keeping ‘Community’ on people’s minds.

When you’re talking about people like Shonda Rhimes, Vince Gilligan or Beau Willimon, you’re talking to people who are notable and celebrities in their own right. People want to know how their brains work.

I feel like my experience on ‘Community’ was that I saw just how important that first year is for a series. That is where you work all the pieces out, and that means honing the...

To me, if people really want to improvise, get into classes and learn.

I loved ‘Dungeons & Dragons’. That was actually a good cartoon to me.

I was very much a latchkey kid. My parents would feel the back of the television to make sure I hadn’t been watching it when they were gone, which inevitably I was.
