We have eight more games to go; and we want to win them all. If we can win a title, people will think we're for real. We can't take anything for granted.
People have said that I said I hate television. I never did say that. What I said was that I hated a lot of stuff that was on television. It's nothing about the medium itself.
You see Michelangelo and Picasso and you read literature. I had some innate inchoate yearning for that, but I never really saw where I would fit in. That's called art. And then something happened to pop music, which is that it became art under the hand of the Beatles, the Stones, and Bob Dylan and some other people.
Hitchcock was one of the few people in Hollywood who had a brand. Every movie he made was an Alfred Hitchcock movie, couldn't have been anyone else.
I think people are intolerant of artists.
Television is a prisoner of dialogue and steady-cam. People walk down a hall, and the camera follows them around a corner.

It is horrible. On some level that sort of is the downside of being a well-liked show, especially this show. We're in the public eye so much. We get reviewed every Monday. At the same time you can't quarrel with that. It is great that people take an interest. But yeah, it is a lot of pressure.
He heard us hum maybe three notes and he started humming the whole song. Why he knows it, why people know it, I couldn't tell you. But they really do.
People have the chance to see a possible, potential future for themselves in that, and it has a ripple effect.
He believed that it would bring, you know, those elements to the show. I think we have an incredible crew of unbelievable creative people who didn't want to, you know, leave home. And they were willing to work 18 hours a day.
There will be these 12 (upcoming episodes) and then another eight, and that will be the end.
