What's so great about making television is that it's a collaborative beast. It's created by a great many hands belonging to a great many people.

The last thing in the world that I would want to know, in my own life, is when I'm going to pass away.

It's weird how with a TV show, you don't have just the one ending - you have the many.

It's like that old expression: "Men plan and god laughs." You sort of see that in the television world, where you have an idea where things are heading and you have a plan and sort of start off in that general direction, but you wind up taking all these side paths and whatnot - if you're lucky.

I've imparted that philosophy to the writers, but some of them look stuff up while some don't. Same with the editors, directors and actors. To each their own.

It's often the case with successful TV shows that they kind of inadvertently live on past their prime. It's best to leave the audience wanting more.

I stay away from the internet as much as I can. Except for pornography.
