There are plenty of examples of really well-executed shows you could look at and say, 'Well, clearly this show will have an audience; why wouldn't it?' And for whatever reason, it just doesn't catch on. So you never know going in.

Our cast and crew strive for this show after show hard as they can. It shows in the finished product.

I think there are shows that are long-running and successful, where some or all of the cast members hate each other, but I think it's a lot easier to have an environment where everyone feels secure and supported to do the best work possible.

The nature of show business is people within the business feel that if someone else fails, they move up a notch.

But that's one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn't work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time.

Show business is a struggle. I certainly wish that I had just blasted on the scene and not had quite such a hard time. But there's a great sense of the relief in that you don't have to prove yourself anymore.

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.

I don't see my show as a stepping stone to something else like some people, who get a job then have a foot out the door looking for their next job.

I feel strongly that I need to try to make my shows as real as possible. What you see is what you get.
