[on what it takes to be a provocateur] I never think I’m creating anything controversial, and I’m always surprised when it is. I’ll admit, when I first started and was doing “Nip/Tuck,” I was really trying to sort of make a statement about hedonism and narcissism and sexuality, and I spent half my day fighting battles on that show. I had huge standards problems, and I’d have big fights with [FX’s] John Landgraf, whom I love now, and Peter Liguori. Now I never fight… I’m less interested in shocking now. Being emotional is more interesting to me. It’s funny because I don’t get as many standards notes as I used to. I guess what I’m interested in is what has become much more personal to me and thus much more heartfelt and maybe less scandalous. Also, I find that in television, the true taboo is never violence, it’s sex, and I’m writing less about sex and more about love at this point.
