blue acting awful
Acting on a blue screen is awful.
thinking done shooting
We go through, I think, six different drafts of each script. And then my shooting it is roughly, you know, fifteen percent of the total work that gets done on a show. Then it's all post-production animation after that.
smart blue lessons
I learned really valuable lessons from 'Blue's Clues.' I'd repeat them every day. 'You can do things. You are smart.
kids responsibility long
Blues Clues' has been incredibly good to me, and I've been working so hard on it for so long that I take it very personally. I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize what so many kids love. So there's a lot of responsibility there.
bush counties madison seeing voted
What's different between now and '69 is that in '69 it was Madison alone. What's really different now is seeing it in these 31 other communities (other than Madison), some of which are in counties that voted for Bush in 2004.
biased device few large
We can't ever have the doc think the device is biased in one way or another. Few of the large pharmaceutical organizations have not approached us.
ball bobby break effective felt game move players special system team technical within
We felt real comfortable especially after Bobby scored that goal. We are a team that is going to be effective when we play within our system and move the ball quickly. We are a more technical team that isn't reliant upon special players to break the game open.
good location sort
We didn't sort of cherry-pick the location where we'd get a good result, so I think it will be more meaningful.
basically campaign influence media money opinion public raw
We don't have money for a big media campaign to influence public opinion, so I think what we're going to see is basically public opinion in its raw form.
denies good gotten guys halves learned louis opponent pressed second space stepped steps struggled team together
We pressed them and stepped up a lot higher. St. Louis struggled to put their combinations together. Going into this game, I didn't think we were a good pressing team, but the guys showed me a lot of character. I learned something about our team more than anything that we can be a team that steps up and denies a lot of space for the opponent to play. In hindsight, had we put two halves together like the second half, we may have gotten the win.
children fans goes heard nine people recognize sixteen watching year
I mean, that's another big surprise of the show, is that I see sixteen year old people who recognize me and they're honest, for-real fans of the show. And it goes down to nine months. I mean, I've heard of nine month to year-old children who are watching the show.
animated couple episodes fully knew questioned whether
I knew early on after the first couple episodes were fully scored and animated that we had a real quality show here. But I always questioned whether or not it would work.
beyond hard hope kids last lasts love perhaps theater watch
It's really hard to say how long the show will last and will continue. I hope it lasts for a very long time. As long as kids watch it, anyway. But beyond this, sure, I would love to be doing film. I'd love to be doing more theater and perhaps even writing.
channel definitely hard highest markets mix public terms
It's definitely the highest rated pre-school show on Cable. It's difficult to mix markets that way in terms of ratings. It's hard to tell, you know, where channel 12, or Public Television, is.
