When you have a cast and crew of people who make it light hearted and crack jokes, and break treats, and understand that we are all in this together. That's a biggest plus that you can have.

There are repercussions to everything, even advancement and success. And I think that the repercussions to my success was the loss of my marriage.

I believe the relationship you have with your government is not so different to a love relationship.
