The writers I respect the most had an undying commitment to a vision.

I have learned to respect ideas wherever they come from. Often they come from clients. Account executives often have big creative ideas regardless of what some writers think.

There are numerous cases of that where one of our writers discovers another writer whom he likes and we then take that book on. So it's a very close relationship. We can do that because we're so small.

And I have the support of the writers: I have a great relationship with the creative team and they have a good hold of my character and my personality and they come up with some great stuff and I'm forever trying to change it up keep it fresh.

Royalties are not how most writers or musicians make their living. Musicians by and large make a living with a relationship with an audience that is economically harnessed through performance and ticket sales.

There are a few writers that one has a relationship with that means basically you do whatever they say. One is Caryl Churchill and the other is David Hare.

One of the things I really love about TV is this symbiotic relationship you can get between the writers and the actors and the characters start to come to life because you start to collaborate.

I've discovered just how symbiotic the relationship is between writers directors and actors. They ask the same questions and strip down texts in exactly the same way.

The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar is the test of their power.

It's the writers' job to make it positive. It's my job to make it real.
