1) Sex and the City was an amazing, groundbreaking show. I didn't set out to be compared to it, but I take it as a compliment! 2) Love GOT. Dragons are my favorite characters. 3) In the first pitch meeting, before I had a chance to speak, Ari said "it's about Mark Wahlberg and his friends. This guy (me) is gonna write it. If it sucks, we are gonna fire him and someone else is gonna rewrite it."

He called me. He put a Johnny Drama reference in his song, So Bad... "Word to Johnny Drama, keep my entourage with me."

No, you are not. Remember the words that Ari speaks on the show were written by someone else. The words he spoke in the bookstore were written by him.

Mark had a friend named Donkey and I was looking to differentiate them but still have a 4-legged creature.
