I guarantee there's people who watch television who have no idea how complicated it is to make a television show.

I've done shows that aired on American TV, but none of them proved to be successful, so yes, no one here knows who I am.

Television is a powerful medium that has to be used for something better than sitcoms and police shows. On the other hand, if you don't recognize the forces that play on what people watch and what they don't then you're a fool and you should be in a different business.

Whenever anyone asks me if I'm from a TV show, I say yes - no matter whether I've ever been on it. It just makes the conversation that much easier.

It's a strange thing to have a successful television show because if it's too interesting... people don't really pay attention when they watch TV. It has to be good, but not so interesting that you really have to pay attention because people multitask. So, if a show demands your entire attention, it has a tough time making it.

I've never worked for a show or was on a show where I didn't have a lot of control creatively, but then again, I haven't worked on a lot of shows.

The best thing about series TV is that everyone you work with is hand-picked, as compared to working on a film.

I don't meet many people who are talking about shows on Showtime.

There are shows that are monolithic successes on TV that nobody in the business ever watches one episode of.

I know that I'm a quirky guy, to say the least. I don't know how easy I am to cast for a network. It hasn't been because I haven't tried. But am I dying to be on a TV show? No.
