For a lot of people, film is still the dream - the captive audience in the darkened theater - but I love TV. I think it's fantastic. Jenji Kohan audiencecaptivedarken Change image and share on social
I'm from the creative side of Hollywood. I'm up for anyone that wants to support my work. If you have eyeballs and give me a budget and are nice to me, I'm in. Jenji Kohan budgetcreativeeyeball Change image and share on social
My first job is to entertain, but if, while you're enjoying, you start to question something you never thought about before or empathize with, relate to, love someone you only thought of as 'other' once upon a time - how awesome is that. Jenji Kohan awesomeempathizeenjoy share on social
I think great writers should write great shows, and I have trouble with, like, what you are in life shouldn't automatically make you what you do in your art. It doesn't necessarily translate. Jenji Kohan artautomaticallygreat Change image and share on social
Personally, I like to yearn a little and long for the next episode. On the other hand, I'm also a glutton. My kids love to dive in and eat whole series at once. Jenji Kohan diveeatepisode Change image and share on social
A TV touchstone for me is 'The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd.' That series was whimsical and smart and had the mix of comedy and drama that I now trade in - but with a dash of magical realism. I wanted to be Molly Dodd, but more than that, I wanted to be Jay Tarses, who created the show. Jenji Kohan comedycreatedash share on social
