punishment words-of-wisdom rooms
The saying within the writer's room, which were my words of wisdom, if you will, was, "The punishment doesn't have to fit the crime, but there has to be a crime."
decision choices knows
You make decisions and choices, and you're never going to know if they're the ideal choices, but you make them and you make the most of them.
people asking too-late
You have to make changes before people are clamoring for changes. If people are asking for changes, it's too late.
thinking issues should
If your audience doesn't like something, you should think to yourself, "Well, why don't they like something? Is there something wrong here?" And, if they like something, you should think to yourself, "Why do they like it? What am I doing right here?," and deal with those issues.

Directing is a very all-consuming job. What you want to do there, as you're coming down the final road, is to just sit back and enjoy and let the wind flow through your hair.

You're just constantly worried about doing the job.
