The highest happiness is a by-product of worthy work well done.

I came out of repertory theater, where I worked 50 weeks a year, and I loved working with a team.

For me, as I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I became aware of how on an instinctive level I made choices to cover myself.

I'm never going to retire. I'll die with my boots on.

They've got to deliver twenty-six episodes a season and they're not going to beat their heads up against a wall if they feel something didn't, like, pan out the way they had hoped.

And so I've always been fascinated by the technical end of theater, and a lot of my closest friends are not actors, but in the other end of the business.

The only other series I worked on a regular basis was Benson, and that was a sitcom, so there really wasn't a chance to go deeply into the characters.
