Directing is probably the best job, but acting is really, really great. It's like a fun vacation that you get paid for.

Drama is more focused and it reveals itself to you, whereas comedy is just right there, when you first read it.

If you're committed enough, you can make any story work. I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it.

The laugh is what trumps everything.

In acting, you're only responsible for your part. When you're directing, the load is on your shoulders, so you have to feel a strong connection to the material. It's a higher bar to get over.

I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.
