It's nice to film in somewhere that you actually love being. Usually, you're in a studio for months on end, and you never see any daylight, so you really make the most of it.

We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world.

Studio people are bright. Empowering. They don't want to have to interfere creatively. That's their horror story, too.

On Letterman and Leno, it always bothers me when they go outside the studio and it's daytime.

Love prefers twilight to daylight.

Working at night helps people focus in on this crazy little bubble you've created, wherever you are filming. It doesn't matter where the location is, the world doesn't exist outside this bubble. And everyone is trapped inside.

We must not let daylight in upon the magic.

Despite the fact the studio looks out of five windows onto a picture perfect view of sky, hills and wide open spaces, I work with my blinds firmly drawn, daylight filtered through their white canvas, a painterly northern light falling through two big skylights above my table, and nothing visible outside to distract me.
