"Mad Men" creator plans to be "part of this show forever"
We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief, Matthew Weiner will not be leaving the show. He told Alan Sepinwall as much:
"There's no crisis," Matthew Weiner says of the contract talks, in this really long interview that delves into Season 2 and last night's season finale.
"I have every intention of being part of this show forever. I love doing it and I love the experience and I love working with everybody I work with. But I feel like I just ran a marathon and I need to have some Gatorade. Obviously, I know Don and I know where the pieces are, but -- it's a horrible thing to admit -- I will have to go from the high I have of just completing this to going, 'Oh my god I'm going to fail.'
In terms of the content of what's there, I have a lot to lean on. I have my genre, I have the history, and I have the ages of these people. I know now that I can tell a completely new story than last year. The central conflict of this year was Don and Betty's marriage. Hopefully, if I can figure it out, there will be something new."
