A lot of what you're seeing these characters go through is something that either is a story one of the actors told in the writers' room or one of the writers themselves told in the writers' room.

Jay Ellis

I think everyone's a little afraid of being part of a trend, because you get compared to each other. Writers tend to have a lot of camaraderie, and when you're constantly compared to someone else, it kind of damages that camaraderie, but I think this is a great trend. I'm honored to be a part of it in many ways.

Veronica Roth

In television writing, even if you're running the writers room, it's a writers room.

James L. Brooks

Lots of shows are written completely in the writer's room. And I wouldn't say 'The Walking Dead' is that way. There are three levels to it. There's us in the room. The writers going off by themselves. And me working with the writers on a finished script.

Scott M. Gimple

Make room, Roman writers, make room for Greek writers; something greater than the Iliad is born.

Propertius

The writers are so smart, I can only imagine. I would love to be in that room. I love the creative process.

Carrie-Anne Moss

My first time up to bat as a showrunner, what I did was hire an all-Latinx writers room. And it's a diverse Latinx writers room - we have an Afro-Dominican and Texicans and Chileans. It's diverse within its Latinidad.

Tanya Saracho

I don't think that I would go into the writers' room because they work really hard and I feel like I'm already working really hard to shoot my part of the show. Also, I haven't written in a writers' room before, it's kinda intimidating to walk in there.

Mary Elizabeth Ellis

I don't know if I always want to be in front of the camera. I love producing, I love the camaraderie. I love the adventures. I love the stress.

Sandra Bullock

I love making the big play. I love being out there with my teammates. I love the camaraderie. I can't say I always love practice. But it's a means to an end.

Myles Garrett

You have to have more people who don't look like you in the writers room. I try to have some people who don't look like me in my writers room. I think it's important to have a group of voices, of people who can dissent.

Shonda Rhimes

The muscles that writers need for film are very different from TV muscles. Now, when I hire the writers and put the writers' room together, I know where their muscles need to be.

M. Night Shyamalan

The dressing-room environment is very difficult to replicate, camaraderie is very important.

Joe Root

I'm consistently blown away by 'Mad Men.' Having spent so much time in the writers' room, I'm cursed in that anytime I watch something, I'm always calculating what the writers are up to.

Maria Semple

We have people say, 'There's not enough women writers.' I have a writers room that is almost nothing but women over at 'Grey's Anatomy.'

Shonda Rhimes

Because I work in television, I always knew that I loved working with writers. It's very collaborative. You're always in a room full of writers.
