Character is what someone does, much more than who they are. I can be sarcastic or I can be fearful, but it doesn't really matter until there's a story - until someone comes in and holds us hostage.

The people that always impress me are the ones that are curious about what they're going to do next.

I always liked magic. I was always embarrassed by liking magic because I liked the fact that they're just lying.

One of the great things about TV is the story to tell can be very internal and really character-based.

First of all, there is absolutely an order that we have put together to create the maximum number of surprises, but that's just part of our storytelling.

There are a lot of things that are in the show that harken back to the old show, but I really wanted to resist doing a greatest hits. It was irresistible to do a greatest hits, but it was almost too easy. There are things that I know are still ahead of us, in the future of whatever Arrested Development brings.

Chance favors the well prepared. The more stuff you throw in, the more chances you have of looking like, 'I did that.'
