I don't think the sketch on its own is a great sketch.

It's fun to discover things. I wouldn't want everything laid out, simply and too obviously.

When you envy actors, only envy them for their good roles. Keep in mind they have to do a lot of roles to make a living, and not all of them are good. When they're doing a stupid role in a bad production, it's kind of a dumb thing to do when you're an adult. When you're doing a great role that's well-written, it's an enviable job.

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 think that cable TV is a great venue to do something interesting.

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.
