If I'm hesitant at all about an idea, then that's not the right idea.

You're saying, "I'm gonna do this thing," and you have to be aware, as a rational human being, that you may not be allowed back in.

Sometimes people can write really great scenes and even a great episode, but they can't see the bigger picture.

You're never the same. You're degrading, or you're getting better. You don't stay the same.

I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it's an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that's my trademark or one of them anyway!

My biggest fear in life is to be average.

There is no one looking out for us. We are all alone.
