Writers are not always right however, but then again, I've been on shows where the actors have complete control and change everything and it's terrible.

I try to watch only real things, which basically amounts to C-Span for me. I like real people in real situations. I learn from that.

There's a certain possessiveness of writers sometimes.

Clint Eastwood is aging beautifully. But someone like Burt Reynolds and others are practically destroying their faces in the amount of work they have.

When you go to a movie, it's about what's not being said. I tried to bring that to Greg Sumner. It was always about what's not being said.

I don't play polo anymore because I am too old. But we still have a half a dozen horses - a couple of young horses we are teaching how to play polo and older horses that are real trustworthy when you get them up in the mountains.

Even though shows like NYPD Blue are soaps in my opinion, but they're individualized to an extent that you can still follow what's going on if you miss a week.
