I've often said there's no such thing as a track record in TV. I seen people who created things much more successful than mine treated like dirt.

We don't really make bad records, though some people might like some more than others. And we have never really done a bad show. So I think in a way maybe we've been taken for granted.

My dad works in finance, so he kept giving me the stats: only one in a hundred actors makes it. He'd ask, 'Have you thought about producing?'
I have a relatively good track record.
