Kumail! I'm a huge fan of your acting and the podcast with Emily. If you and the cast of Silicon Valley were in Game of Thrones, what characters would you be?

Huge fan of you and your work! You once tweeted back at me on Twitter about a pitch of what I was writing and it made me feel really good. I have a couple questions.

1. Is studying writing/film in an academic setting worth it? What was the most valuable thing you gained out of attending the University of Miami?

2. What skills does it take to be a successful writer (screen or otherwise) besides actual writing ability gained through practice?

How do you feel about audience reaction/critical reception of your work?

Are you totally internally motivated or would it upset you if there was a negative audience or critical reaction to Me Him Her, for example, even if you thought you did the very best you could?
