Survivor is like rock 'n' roll - you can do what you want.

Reality is a genre that seems to be here to stay. I don't know how many of the new shows will last, but the more competition you have, the harder that pie is to slice up.

So often, the best way to figure out who has a shot at winning is by eliminating those that you're pretty sure don't.

Most people I run into say, I haven't missed an episode. Either you like Survivor or you don't, but if you do, you're a loyal viewer.

I love being a part of storytelling, so whether I'm getting to do that on Survivor, or do it through kids' adventure books, or directing a movie, it's all sort of the same: Once Upon a Time...

I married my wife and she brought these two amazing kids into my life, and we were realizing, God there's nothing out there in fiction about blended families.

My goal was, and still is, to write first, direct my own stuff whenever possible and control my own creative destiny.
