The last jobs I had were fixing cars and covering football games for a local access tv station. As in driving the mobile van to the field, setting up 3 cameras, teaching depressed grownups and interns how to use them and directing the game from the van and then wanting to kill myself.

I think one reason TV has always done well is because there is something comforting where you kind of know what you're going to be taken through.

When two kids are being completely berserk, and they're naked and throwing food around, sometimes I just let it go because I can see a future where they're going to be dressed, and they're going to be at school. So I kind of let stuff go sometimes.

The ability to just sit there. That's being a person.

All talking is good, negative and positive. Stabbing is bad; talking is good.

I'm not raising the children, I'm raising the grown ups that they're going to be.

Expensive quality work doesn't cost more - it pays.
