I consider myself one of the luckiest people in the history of show business.

I hardly see myself as a futurist.

Everybody knows things are not the same. The people running the TV end of a major vertically integrated company know how much money a successful show can make.

The most positive step is to try to expand the employment base by making it, if not economically friendly, at least not economically disastrous, for studios to take on deficits.

There are other options out there, after all, like read a book, go on the Internet, rent a movie.

The environment doesn't change that radically. You are still going to go home at night and NBC is going to be there, ABC and CBS will still be there.
