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.

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

I'm not one of these guys who says 'Now I'm on a really hot show. Better quit soon before I get labeled.' That's the most ridiculous notion I'd ever heard.

I love telling stories, that's it. I love it. That's the word I would choose to describe what I love the most.

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.

Everyone wants to talk, you've just got to find a way to get them to talk.
