Jason Katims Quotes

Write what you’re scared about Picture Quote #1
My first job in television was on ‘My So-Called Life.’ Picture Quote #1
Because of streaming, serialized television has become less of a dirty word when you’re pitching shows. I had to fight for that for so long as someone who’s always gravitated towards ongoing story lines with characters that evolved and changed and storylines that continued over longer arcs Picture Quote #1
I directed the next-to-last episode of ‘Parenthood.’ I wrote three of the four last episodes. I had the cast to my house. Had a champagne toast with the writers. Had a huge cast and crew party. Drank eggnog in the camera truck after we wrapped the final day. All that, and I don’t really feel like I’ve said good-bye to ‘Parenthood.’ Picture Quote #1
I’m not somebody who goes online after every episode airs because that would be, for me, getting too much feedback and too much information Picture Quote #1
The ‘Moonlighting’ tension of the couple that obviously never can get together, there’s an innate sort of fun and tension in that Picture Quote #1

As much as I thought the end of ‘Friday Night Lights’ was a really great ending, I was one of those people who wanted to make it into a movie. Even though it ultimately didn’t work to do that movie, I did work with some of the other writers and by myself writing a script for that Picture Quote #1
What’s great is that I keep hearing from people who are discovering ‘Friday Night Lights’ because of streaming and Netflix and Hulu and all of these things. Somehow... things don’t get old as fast as they used to. They stay vibrant Picture Quote #1
The shows I’ve been working on, especially ‘Parenthood’ and ‘Friday Night Lights,’ I think are completely character-driven stories. I think, for most writers, that’s a privilege to be telling those kinds of stories. It’s erroneous to me Picture Quote #1
The most frustrating thing to me is when I tell people I work on ‘Friday Night Lights,’ they’ll say, ‘Oh, I hear that’s a really good show.’ They never watched it Picture Quote #1
I sort of was inspired by ‘Friday Night Lights,’ where it was a very different show, but similar in that they were both large ensemble dramas where you had many stories going on at once. I wanted to do a show that shared that element, and that’s really why I wanted to develop ‘Parenthood’ as a series Picture Quote #1
To me, when you have people trying to put their best foot forward but facing conflict, that’s when stories are the most interesting Picture Quote #1

‘Parenthood’ has been the beneficiary of wonderful performances by child actors Picture Quote #1
You’re breaking up, you’re getting together, you’re changing your life, you’re arguing with your parents, you’re making terrible mistakes, you’re having great triumphs. It’s what happens to teenagers Picture Quote #1
It’s so funny because a lot of times we’ll have these discussions as writers, and you feel like you’re having a discussion with your wife: ‘I don’t know. Are they ready to have another baby? Is it time? Well, she’s not getting any younger.’ Picture Quote #1
That’s the thing that I’ve always kind of kept in the back of my head in writing about teens, that everything is so important, all the time, every day. Every day of your life, you’re changing and making decisions and everything is an emergency to you Picture Quote #1
To me, when you have people trying to put their best foot forward but facing conflict, that’s when stories are the most interesting Picture Quote #1
Any show I’m working on, I want the stories to always be about something, and to have the potential to be emotional. That’s the kind of story that I like Picture Quote #1

People think about autism as something with kids. Well, those kids grow up Picture Quote #1
Parenthood has been the beneficiary of wonderful performances by child actors Picture Quote #1
I did a lot of freelance desk publishing jobs when I graduated from college. I sort of earned a living doing that while I was writing plays, which was what I wanted to do. My hope was to become a playwright Picture Quote #1
