I do love television. But the business is accelerating and people are not getting the chance to fail.

It's show business. No show, no business.

I get bored with establishing shots of people getting out of cars and walking into buildings, getting into elevators and then 45 seconds later they have a line.

TIVO executives stand up and say, 'Well, we're not getting rid of commercials, but we are letting them fast forward, because people like commercials, and if they see one that they like they stop and watch it.' I mean, please.

The threat to free television. The reason television is free is because it is a life support system for commercials. That fundamental aspect is about to change.

I don't think you can really make television based on what you think audiences want. You can only make stories that you like, because you have to watch it so many times.
