I am here to tell you, TV is not dead. Rather, it is constantly evolving as we are. My view is that we are in the next Golden Age of content.

Most women in my family start to get sick and start dying in their 40s, and I am going to be very happy to become 50 and 60. I love getting older.

Writing is no dying art form in America because most published writers here accept the wisdom and the necessity of encouraging the talent that follows in their footsteps.
Dying in childbirth is something that’s not new; it’s been going on for ages, and so it’s not something that people focus on; it’s not something that gets funded a lot, and it’s exactly for that reason that we are losing mothers all the time, and we have kids with no mothers.

To be a poet, it’s a challenge to do it in poverty, to do it in wealth. To do it in the academy, to do it in a relationship where you’re happy. Everything changes the game. To do it in the awkward state of love, despair, dying. You just have to work it.
My thesis topic was ‘The value of a human life.’ I asked people a question: ‘Suppose you had some risk, a one in a thousand risk of dying – how much would you pay to eliminate it?’

To be honest I don’t watch the show, I don’t watch any TV, so I have no idea what the show is about.

They know more than me.
