I always want to make sure I'm telling a story about people that I care about.
James suddenly seemed to have his guitar *all* the time and at the drop of a hat...or even with no hat, he'd play.
Now that that paradigm has worked, the market will be inundated, ... It's a revenue source companies weren't aware of. If money can be made, it will be made ... I was just in the video store and those awaiting the first season of 'McMillan and Wife' need wait no longer.
I'm not big on regret; I don't spend a lot of time on it.
I thought maybe another network or a miniseries,
The Internet community started forming right when 'Buffy' started airing, and the notion of a show creator being anything other than a name people recognize on the screen was completely new.
I was never a games night guy, but at some point, social interaction starts to freak me out. So when there's a point, it's easier for me to see the people I love and hang out and try to have fun.
Shakespeare's language does not require a British accent. It requires a facility with language, and that's all.
The master plan does not have a master plan. Television ultimately finds itself, and after it finds itself, it finds itself changing.
I've become less cynical, which is appalling but kind of cool.
People would say, 'You're going to need this and that,' and I'd be like, 'Not so much.' If I only needed three walls, we only built three, and if someone asked, 'Well, what if you want to do this other shot?' I said, 'Well, we just won't.'
I was very proud of my father, and I admired him, but I always thought he was more interesting than the shows he was working on.
I have abused language. I love it, and I abuse it... I don't write just to be clever. But sometimes I do. And if you don't have an understanding of the language, then the way in which it's bent doesn't actually register.
Most of the dialogue in 'Speed' is mine, and a bunch of the characters. That was actually pretty much a good experience. I have quibbles. I also have the only poster left with my name still on it. Getting arbitrated off the credits was un-fun.
