Interview With Doris Egan, Producer / Writer of House
I really don’t know who actually did this interview. (If anyone knows the interviewer, please let me know so I can give credit.) You can go read the entire interview here, or here’s an excerpt:
Q: What’s the status of the 2007-2008 season of House?
A: We’re working hard to get four episodes out, after which we’ll just keep rolling into the next season. Production should start up in a couple of weeks.
Q: With the strike, the writers couldn’t work. However, I somehow doubt that you’ve spent these months vacationing! Can you share with us some of the things you’ve done during the strike?
A: I’ve done strike work – I’ve answered phones at HQ, taped signs, and done general work for United Hollywood (UnitedHollywood.com, the website for collective writer information during the strike – and, hopefully, for continued writer networking going forward). I also began research for a novel that I’ve had in mind for years; there was one big sticking point, but I had a breakthrough on that a few months ago. The solution means I’ve now got an endless amount of background reading, though.

Q: In your opinion, what are the right and wrong reasons to become a television writer?
A: Well, the first wrong reason would be money. If you’re an intelligent person and your aim in life is money, there are easier ways – ways that would be kinder to your blood pressure, general health, and family life. Television will give you a life out of balance, I’m telling you that right now. So you’d better love it for itself (to circle around to the right reason). The rat-tat-tat of dialogue should make your heart race, and you should be open to spending a significant amount of time with the same characters.
