I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on.

There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on.

We've had big scandals all across the world.

Although my dad's a writer, we grew up in a telly-watching household. I never found him disparaging about television.

I don't believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It's a mean thing, life.

It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.
