J.J. Abrams is an all-time hero of mine, really lovely to be working with him.
I always wanted to work with David Milch.
I've met Shonda Rhimes a few times, and certainly she's an inspiration for me in television.
Joss Whedon who created 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer,' 'Angel,' and all that... he is a genius.
J. J. Abrams is amazing.
I know Chuck Lorre personally, and am familiar with his work going back to 'Roseanne' and 'Cybil.'
I think Amy Sherman-Palladino has a very specific voice; it's unlike anyone else on television.
Charlie Huston, who showran the first season [of Powers], is a novelist, and likes to internalize fiction as a novelist does.
Jon Bokenkamp is awesome.
I hate when people use this term, but Matt Weiner is a genius.
Vince Gilligan is a wizard - and a fantastically hard-working wizard.
Ryan Murphy is a genius. In terms of television, very few have been as prolific.
Louis C.K. directs his show, which is very much like a series of short films.
I had actually auditioned for a guest star role on 'Legends of Tomorrow,' and the show had the same casting director as 'Riverdale.'
Shonda Rhimes is at the top of television.
David Chase is a genius.
I did 'The Commish' and an episode of 'Neon Rider,' and then I got the series called 'Street Justice,' which I ended up doing about 18 episodes of.
I've been a huge fan of Steven Bochco's for over two decades.
I actually have huge respect for Lorne Michaels. I think that guy is really something.
Tom Hooper had done 'John Adams,' and David Lynch did 'Twin Peaks.' I figured I could do eight hours of television, and I wanted to.
When David Goyer comes to the small screen, what he's actually doing is making the small screen bigger.
Jill Soloway is a friend of mine. She does 'Transparent,' and she's amazingly funny and brilliant and bright. And I love her show.
