[on the characters in 'Silicon Valley'] These type of people, had they been born 200 years ago, would not be the wealthiest people in the world. You look at whoever the richest person in television is today, and they probably spent 20 or 30 years just working their asses off, staying up until three in the morning, writing episodes. And then you look at the Tumblr guy who's a billionaire. There are these guys in college who were smart but introverted people who suddenly have a billion dollars, and they're still socially awkward. That's just great for comedy.

For so much of my life I was worried about how I was going to make a living. I was in denial in college, and then I was like 'Oh, shit, I'm going to be a homeless bum. I gotta figure out a job'. My sister used to read all these Nancy Drew books, and she would say, "Nancy Drew just says 'so I hopped on a plane'. How does she pay for the ticket?" And I just think sometimes that's lacking in the entertainment world. People seem to have endless cash no matter they do.

Why should every single character be an honor student who goes around helping others and never doing anything wrong? Is that like the rule or something?

When the show started out, it was like all of a sudden we had to do 35 episodes and we had just a month and a half to write them, and it took me a while to realize that I was in charge.

They say it figures MTV would do such a vulgar, awful, horrible show and they completely miss that it's satirizing the people who watch MTV.

The characters of Mr. Tom Anderson (from Beavis and Butt-Head (1993)) and Hank Hill (from King of the Hill (1997)) are based, in part, on his experiences with his neighbors in Texas.

He created Beavis and Butt-Head (1993) for MTV and King of the Hill (1997) for Fox. In late 1996 he was determined to get King of the Hill (1997) off the ground and bring Beavis and Butt-Head (1993) to an end. This resulted in a struggle with both networks as he tried to convince them that they were two completely separate shows. Wanting to work on King of the Hill (1997) for Fox while not completely turning his back on MTV, he relented to allowing a series focusing on Daria (1997) but wanted to put the project in someone else's hands.
