I always love it best when you have a project where there is this commingling of the subject matter and the way in which you're recording that subject matter.

You know, we certainly have a great budget on the show, but the expansions to world of the show really arise because, and this is kind of the idea of the premise of the show, where is each week you're kind of meeting . . . It's random access.

One of the things with our show is posing a lot of questions, but getting a lot of answers too.

We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt.

How can you forgive if you can’t remember to forget?

I'm a big believer in pose some questions and then answer a few of them before you move onto the next set of questions.

Everybody is waiting for the end to come, but what if it already passed us by? What if the final joke of Judgment Day was that it had already come and gone and we were none the wiser? Apocalypse arrives quietly; the chosen are herded off to heaven, and the rest of us, the ones who failed the test, just keep on going, oblivious. Dead already, wandering around long after the gods have stopped keeping score, still optimistic about the future.
