What we love about the character Katie, played by Katy Mixon, is that she feels very universal and very relatable. And what we love about 'American Housewife' is that it feels like it could speak for housewives from New York to Los Angeles, from Boise to Miami.

We are committed to getting our content to our audience in as many ways as possible. We are very excited about our partnerships.. and we relaunched our ABC app, which is going to be a great place and opportunity for our audience to find our shows in addition to throwback content and new ABC digital originals.

I think that there's a sense that procedurals, because they have more of a formula to the storytelling, it doesn't necessarily rate as high as some of the high-concept, big-idea, big-swing things that get the critics really excited.
-
We're very clear on 'black-ish' about how many opinions are voiced by Dre Johnson.
-
In television, we are fortunate because we get to try a lot of things; we get to take a lot of shots. It gives us a great opportunity to tell many different stories from diverse points of view.
-
I want ABC to be a fantastic home for creative, talented people with unique points of view and personal stories to tell and for us to be able to support them in bringing their ideas to the screen.
-
Having brought diversity to the air in the way that we have with Kerry Washington and Viola Davis toplining their shows, and then shows like 'Fresh Off the Boat' and 'Black-ish,' have been very important. I look forward to continuing in that vein.

I talk fast, I'm always running from one thing to another, and I tend to gesture a lot with my hands when I talk.

I've been a TV junkie for a long time, since I was a kid.
-
I'm fortunate to be in a position to support nonprofits that align with my personal priorities, which include women's health issues, cancer research, environmental concerns, and education for women and children domestically and globally.
-
I love to read, and TV seemed more like a good book, with these incredible series unfolding like chapters in a novel.
-
The issue of work/life balance is a real one, and yet I still find myself frustrated if I feel like I'm giving some aspect of my life short shrift.
-
For those of you who are fans of 'Agents of SHIELD,' that show has continued to grow creatively every season. I feel like last season, Season 4, was its strongest creatively yet. I'm very excited for what we have planned for Season 5.
-
We are extremely proud of our 'ABC funny' brand. We think that we have a very distinctive brand of family comedies.
-
I think that the more that we can show onscreen men and women working together side by side with respect for one another, I think that that's a good message for us to be spreading.
-
I would say I'm cautiously optimistic.
-
We have oft lamented the cancellation of 'Body of Proof,' I'm not gonna lie. That was a good show for us, and it was sad to see it go.
-
A big hook can be great; you'll have a big opening. But if you haven't got the right foundation, you're never going to keep that train on the tracks.
-
What I love about 'American Idol' is that it's broad.
-
We have had conversations with Lucasfilm, and we continue to have them. I think it would be wonderful to extend that brand onto our programming.
-
I am a fan of the Marvel shows. I think some of what they're doing and the work on Netflix is fantastic.
-
Diversity is enormously important to me.

Jimmy Kimmel has proven to be a preeminent voice in comedy, with 15 seasons of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' under his belt and successfully tackling the herculean task of hosting both the Emmys and the Oscars in the same season.
-
I'm inspired by art - in whatever form it takes. I love when I see a painting or a photograph that captures my attention.
