- [on not working with Gibson in the future] I hope that he's getting time with his family. I hope the best for the guy.
- [from an interview with People magazine on his recent visit to Ghetto Film School Los Angeles] There's a certain cycle that needs to be broken, one of these kids came up and asked me, 'I'm doing a full report on the diversity problem in Hollywood and how do you think you fix that?' The first thing that came to my mind was 'You guys. You guys are the way that we fix that. You guys are here right now. You're fixing it right now because you're spending time and you're studying and you're working on your craft and you're trying to tell your stories. You have to be the change that you want to see.'
- [his working relationship with Thomas Gibson] It hasn't been smooth. [talking about writing off Gibson's character, who only appeared on the first two episodes of the current season] It was very abrupt. But we tried to do it seamlessly and move on. We're going to keep moving forward and we're going to keep telling great stories.
- [on Thomas Gibson being fired from Criminal Minds for kicking him after disagreeing with the script] He came to me with a line change that he wanted. Because of this particular episode, the change that he wanted hurt the story. I offered him a fix. He didn't accept the fix. He said, 'Fix it so I'm happy' and then walked off.
