I expect the audience to assume TV is stupid. I accept that it's my job to overcome it.

When you are in the 8 o'clock position, you can either be a cultural phenomenon, or you're endangered. It's a tough time slot.

I don't really have a lot of appropriate feelings for people on an individual basis, but I've always wanted to make people happy.

Find your voice, shout it from the rooftops, and keep doing it until the people that are looking for you find you.

Class clowns are never allowed to date anybody decent, but you don't get beaten up, you're invited to parties, and everybody likes you.

None of us are bad people. We float around and we run across each other and we learn about ourselves, and we make mistakes and we do great things. We hurt others, we hurt ourselves, we make others happy and we please ourselves. We can and should forgive ourselves and each other for that.

Television is a populous, derivative, democratic medium.
