“ Matthew Weiner: You cannot exaggerate the value of experience in storytelling and your gut feeling of what is a good story.

“ David Milch: When Adam and Eve are in the garden, she says, “What are you gonna call that?” And he says, “A hippopotamus.” And she says, “Why?” “Because it looks like a hippopotamus.” We’ve integrated our expectations about form, so you think in the shape of twelve. You couldn’t say why or how.

“ David Milch: Now all the conventions have been hollowed out and revealed as barren. And that’s ultimately the transposition of “the story” from the church of film to an entirely different world in which the story declares itself on its own terms, with no preexisting expectations. In fact, the expectations are there to be deconstructed.

“ Matthew Weiner: I feel like David Chase died for my sins. Do you know how many decisions were based on some meeting when he was on Northern Exposure or The Rockford Files or some show you never heard of that he worked on for three years? Somebody saying to him, “You can’t do that,” and him saying, “Why not?” And them saying, “Because you can’t.” We were exorcising those demons. He wouldn’t do a walk-and-talk, which is two characters being covered in one shot, talking. He wouldn’t do that, because it was something NBCUniversal used to do to save money. Sometimes you’d be at this amazing location with a strip club on one side, an abattoir on the other—spectacular. You’d say, “Can’t they just walk down the highway?” And he’d say [sarcastic], “Sure. Let’s just lay some track, walk backwards, and we can get out of here by four.” I knew it was some network executive he was punching in the face thirty years later.

“ You keep the money. Please do. What I’m trying to illustrate is that none of us, thank goodness, needs $10. And yet we willingly submit to the hold the symbol has on us, associated with luck. In the same way, the mystique of the film writer holds long after the substance—in which films were a more powerful medium. That’s not true anymore, but the symbol still has its own autonomous reality.
