50 Quotes by Shawn Ryan

But he's someone that the networks, the studio, I think, in the past viewed a little dangerously. And I'm hoping that any success we might have with this will change their opinions of that because I've never met someone as committed and professional and intent on making good dramas as he is.

I don't ever want to have a weak episode of television with my name on it.

I don't want my writing to be recognized.

I don't want my writing to be so unique that when you apply it to different genres, it seems like the previous show that people know you from.

I still feel driven to try to make great shows and to make each episode great.

I would say on a creative level I put a lot of pressure on myself.

I'm perfectly happy to color within the network lines when I have to.

I'm very humble in terms of knowing that television is an extraordinary collaborative medium and that one person alone cannot make a great TV show.

To this day, nothing makes me happier than finding a TV show I really love.
