Famous Quotes & Sayings

David Mitchell

Eliza Coupe

I was on a show called '12 Miles of Bad Road' with Lily Tomlin - it was an incredible HBO show.

That's when I realized anything can happen in this business.

David Krumholtz

It's really cool to know that you've put something together that isn't for a particular audience.

Their reaction has meant the world to us.

Dave Barry

Here's my proposal, which is based on the TV show Survivor: We put the entire Congress on an island. All the food on this island is locked inside a vault, which can be opened only by an ordinary American taxpayer named Bob.
