If she is successful there is the opportunity to put her into the team.
barack candidates carries country fan feels greater heavier held higher large portion standard
I'm a big fan of Barack Obama. I think he carries a heavier burden and is held to a greater and higher standard than other candidates : I think there's a large, large portion of this country that feels disenfranchised and marginalized by the political process.

It's kind of a quiet community where everybody still knows each other. Everybody's still out walking the dogs on the street, which is rare in Charlotte any more.
became fan funny network threat ways
It's funny - I was a big fan of 'The Sopranos.' It became kind of a threat to 'The X-Files' in a way because they could play with language, character, and story in ways that we never could because of the limitations of network television.

disney helped movies needed pilot realise screen tv work
I got to do Disney Sunday movies. I got to do a TV pilot there. And it really helped me to realise that I needed to not just be a writer, but a producer, to see my work up on the screen the way I wanted it to look and play.
producers
I think I've been asked a lot more than most TV producers to go on-camera. But I just do what I do and don't think about the package.

I have to be careful with surfing. It's still an addiction to me. It's all I want to do, and that's the big dilemma I have with it.
abuse flown network worked
There are things I'm doing with 'The After' that would've never flown on 'The X-Files' and on network television, so it's more permissive. That's not to say that you want to abuse that. I think that a show like 'The X-Files' actually worked better as a network show with the restraints put on it, the censorship that was applied.
