You don't want your credibility banana to turn brown, but you do want to speak out about what you believe in.

You don't want to become one of those Hollywood idiots who is just blathering about anything.

The issue for my character, and the issue of the show is, how dirty do your feet have to get without suffocating yourself in the mud in order to get an inch of what you really want done?

With the success of a show, you get an opportunity to call attention to things that you believe in.

Whatever you do, make sure you want to write more than you want to be a writer. Make sure you want to act more than you want to be an actor. That is what will sustain you.

I can't believe George Bush might be president.
