If you don't know what you're being asked to do, make sure you clarify. I think people in every business are afraid to ask questions.

A key ingredient to success, I learned, is relying on not only the kindness of strangers, but the kindness of colleagues.

The great thing about television is that you get to tell, like with "The Walking Dead", 16 hours worth of character-driven storytelling in less time than it takes to make a feature film.
