It's 5 P.M. at the office. Working fast, you've finished your tasks for the day and want to go home. But none of your colleagues have left yet, so you stay another hour or two, surfing the Web and reading your e-mails again, so you don't come off as a slacker.

When I think back on the work that I've been able to do and the work in my career of the highest quality, a huge portion of that has been on HBO. That didn't happen by accident.
