I basically was a precocious little kid.

It's kind of a strange world when you can trust a game format or platform more than the network news.

I want to make smart television.

People who get involved with the success of something have to be given at least some share of that success.

I took acting lessons when I was 19, 20, and I had my writing.

One of the young production assistants (on 'Terminator: Salvation') stepped over to my chair and said, 'Mr. Ironside, are you any relation to the Ironside who was in 'Top Gun'?' And I said, 'I am, yes.' And she grinned and said, 'I knew it! Talent must run in your family!' And she walked away. And all of the producers and directors kind of looked at me uncertainly, and I said, 'What are you guys so uncomfortable for? That's an incredible compliment. I do look like the father of that guy, for Christ's sake!'
