Every pilot I've ever written, I've fallen deeply and madly in love with. It's the only way I work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, it's difficult to fall in love with a character when you just read the pilot. You don't really know who the character is.
Every pilot thinks they're the best pilot in the world. I think I'm the best pilot.
I've done a lot of pilots. A lot of shows. You're young and you do a job just because you know someone gave you a job.
I love flying; I love aircraft, and you could say I've had a love affair with flight since I was a child. I travel a huge amount. I use airports, and as a pilot, I've flown in and out of airports thousands of times, so really, I have a fairly broad perspective.
I always wanted to be a pilot.
One of my great joys in life is being a pilot. There is a great sense of freedom in soaring through the sky. You get a different perspective up there. Seeing things that aren't so apparent from the ground.
Oftentimes, you read these pilot scripts that come through for American work, and they don't sing to you. I've got to be honest, not many of them ignite the flame or give you that burning feeling of, 'Oh, God, I really want to be a part of this.'
So, I'm happy to do that because it's a wonderful working relationship but I will be going out for pilot season for half hour work and that's the gamble I'm taking.
I didn't get my first pilot that I screen-tested for, and I really thought it was the end of the world. But it's fine, you know, you move on to something else.
This pilot, by far, was the best I ever read - and I hope that insults every other pilot I worked on.
