I could vomit, right this moment. I literally could vomit on cue. Yes. Here's the truth of that. We didn't have a big audience, obviously, when we made the show. Very early on, we made a decision that we were going to try to give the fans and the people that were loyal to us something that they felt was special.

I think everybody wants to be loved, all the time, but it's not realistic. It's also not realistic, if you're going to be ambitious, in terms of changing the form or evolving.

Television is so much about continuing to work with people.

Well, at the time, you have to remember that we were not successful. The Showtime offer, as it was presented to me, was half the money for half the show. I was not interested, at that point, in doing a smaller cast and a more simplified Arrested Development.

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

We mapped out the whole movie, and then worked backwards from that to do these shows. It might not be a movie. It might be something else.

There's a lot that you can do in television that you can't do with a film, theoretically. At the time, the only possibility was to do a movie.
