I'm always trying to gain and keep the audience's respect. I always want them to know that the show doesn't think they're stupid for watching.

I wish people used wishes to modify themselves instead of others. Wish to be low maintenance. Wish to be autonomous, even.

You can't tell the audience — well, you can, but I don't like to tell the audience — that anything they're watching doesn't matter.

I expect the audience to assume TV is stupid. I accept that it's my job to overcome it.
