I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.

We're in the doing business, or acting business and creating business. We're not in the results business, so we don't have any control over what the result is.

Most of my career up until the last couple of years has basically been a training ground for me. Actors that came up in the '50s and '60s, they had the theater, and television was in its infancy.

Establishing what the vision is and being able to stick to it is the job, and everyone should be on the same page, going in. With that said, first-time director or not, you never know what you're going to get.

People lose people, we lose things in our life as we're constantly growing and changing. That's what life is is change, and a lot of that is loss. It's what you gain from that loss that makes life.

Creating a world in a sci-fi show is almost the whole battle. If you have a great story and you can create a great world, as far as the acting goes, it makes my job a whole lot easier.

I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.
