I think that complicated, nuanced, deep, heavy - that's the place to go. That's what makes a great show. That's what all of us deal with in life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel 'Breaking Bad' - maybe everybody says this about their show - I feel like this show is so special that I don't 'know' that I necessarily really know what it's like to do a regular show.
It's an honor to have been part of something so core to so many lives. The show has evolved beyond it's original intent and form and has transcended... itself!
When we make the show, we are always talking about how the show is really in between what we make and what the viewer thinks of it.
When I'm up there, and I know the show's coming to a close, in my head I'm saying to myself, Oh man, you gotta get off and be a normal person again. That's what I don't like so much.
Like any show, I think some episodes are going to be stronger than others, but I think it's a good show that people enjoy and I hear the reactions too.
There's something in human nature, the trying-to-get-on-with-it quality of people, the struggle to maintain or keep the show going can be exhausting.
Well, here's what I'll say: The storytellers of 'Lost' have taken us on a pretty great journey, and there have been questions along the way, and criticisms along the way, but if you look at the totality of the show, or the experience of it as a whole, I think as long as you look at it from that perspective you'll be happy.
For me, it shouldn't just be a live show: it should be an experience. It should be some kind of crazy, tribal, exhausting experience.
You only have a week to do a show. I mean, there's only so deep you can dig in that week.
The best shows are always the ones that are very, very low-concept and just about great characters.
