Antony Starr quotes about
giving people balance
There has to be an element of repetition for TV... You want people to be addicted to your show, and the way to get people addicted is not to give it to them once, but to give it to them a few times, until they get on board with it. It's just about finding that balance of the necessary repetition and making the things that are repetitive absolutely necessary while keeping everything else fresh.
long people comfort
People, when they get out of a long stretch of prison, are completely mal-adapted to society. Comfort for them is when there is a threat.
people personality erratic
A lot of people that get out of prison have anti-social personality disorder, which makes them promiscuous and erratic, and they can't form ordinary relationships.
jobs wall coffee
I had a job when I was 15 working at a supermarket, and I knocked over a stack of plastic coffee cups. In my anger, I threw one at a concrete wall, and it rebounded back into my head and cut my head open. Stupidest way to get a scar, but its one that I have.

fun having-fun thumbs
Ive always had this rule of thumb: If you have fun making it, then someone will have fun watching it.
way collaboration project-management
Collaboration is the best way to work. It's only way to work, really.
sports order chaos
