When everyone has high expectation for you, it can attack your insecurities.

I'm a big fan of 'Mad Men.'

As a director you come in and tell the actors how good they are.

The TV business is like the produce section of the market. Today everything is fresh and glistening and firm. And tomorrow, when they find a bruise on you, they toss you out.

What's great about comedy, obviously, is that you set up a situation that people assume one thing and then you break the assumption. That's basically the backbone to comedy. You set up a situation, let people make an assumption, and then you break the assumption.

When the sun is shining, make hay, because it would be sunset on my career at some point, and when it is, I want to be exhausted.

The imagination is part of the arsenal that actors draw from.
