The show really is balanced, from the writing to the way it's shot, with intelligence and humanity. It's always sweet at the end of the episode. You really do like Earl.
It appears at this time, although the investigation is continuing, that he was struck by that white Town Car, lost control and plowed into the clinic. It appears that he's a victim of a hit-and-run and we don't arrest victims.
My name is Earl and I'm a jerk.
When I first turned pro, it was March of '89-a month before my 19th birthday.
We didn't play as well as we can and we're not getting carried away.
I really liked Tom & Jerry. That was huge for me. I watched it every morning, before I walked to school. Even as a kid, I thought there was something really smart about it. I thought it was very clever.
Being a dad, I certainly know what it feels like to give lots of love and understanding, and I also know what it feels like to be antagonized or to have my buttons pushed, at midnight when one of my kids just will not go to sleep. You've gotta just let them be what they are, ultimately.
I wanted to be looked at for the skateboarder that I was. I didn't want to be the 36-year-old skateboarder who's still holding on while owning a company at the same time. I wanted to make my mark and travel and accomplish a few things here and there and then get out.
I wasn't a kid who moved out from Iowa with aspirations of becoming a famous star - I was intrigued by the idea of filmmaking and by the idea of what it would be like to play a character in a movie.
When does Earl change, and how long does that take? It's a slow awakening. We have to walk that line of not having that happen too soon but not keeping him ignorant too long.
We're in the midst of putting together a strategic partnership on the retail side. And for office, we're looking at sub markets of Tokyo and other cities with good demographics.
We didn't really beat them the way we wanted to beat them. We played well below our standards and whenever that happens we're not happy.
