Kids arent growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.

The audience, the place youre in, has everything to do with how your performance goes.

I accept the fact that some things dont go the way you hope.

It is not about whether you are an executive, a studio or a network. If you have a story or an idea you can build a following for it.

I liked it because it was such a dangerous script and showed just what human beings are capable of. Here was a movie in which Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, who always win in every movie they ever do, simply don't win. I felt that was outrageous for a commercial movie.

I was not a studious kid, and I struggled to find things that would command my attention and engage my ideas and energies.

You can't win a marathon without putting some bandaids on your nipples!
