David: (On leaving TV and getting into technology.) Once in a while, when I’m fed up with the illogic of the TV business. And also briefly a couple of years ago, when I lived in fear that all of the computer scientists I knew were about to become billionaires in the internet IPO boom, leaving me behind. (edit)
David: (On being executive producer for Futurama) It is true that I’d like to take a partial step back. I don’t think I could leave completely, since I love the show so much, but at the same time I don’t think I can take another year of working until midnight night after night. One idea I had is to stay involved in the stage of the process where we work out the stories. That way, I could retain some of the satisfaction that comes from helping plan the evolution of a universe! (edit)
