I was running an assembly line designed to build memory chips. I saw the microprocessor as a bloody nuisance.

Honda opened its first assembly line in Lincoln in November 2001.

Doing a TV show, you're on an assembly line and it's as cut and dry as that. There are some shows that are exceptions. There are producers that want really special things.

The invisibility of work and workers in the digital age is as consequential as the rise of the assembly line and, later, the service economy.

It was exactly an assembly line. You could look into infinity down these rows of drawing tables.

I don't have any real "process." Some people in Nashville go in like an assembly line. They're able to go and write. My son runs a publishing company. He has writers that come down. They get together in a room with the people that actually make appointments, and write - which is great. I can't do that very well.
