I always liked magic. I was always embarrassed by liking magic because I liked the fact that they're just lying.
revenge love-you hatred
For the most part you are dealing with jealousy, you are dealing with love, you're dealing with hatred, you are dealing with revenge and all of these sort of classic things.
opportunity creative be-creative
The more constraints I have, the more opportunities I have to be creative to fix those constraints.
thinking self voice
It's very easy I think when you're a creative person to wait for the right thing and to start getting self-conscious about how you are going to express what you do and what's special about you. I would say in general, a lot of times the answer is that you just dive into something and you find your own voice through that process.

The people that always impress me are the ones that are curious about what they're going to do next.
jobs calling way
One of the best ways into the business is to get a job with a production, which you can do by cold-calling or by getting your résumé out there, and also through contacts. That's where nepotism really helps.
writing mean credit
The "executive producer" title either means that you're the person who created, or co-created, the show, or you're the person who's in charge of day-to-day operations. Whereas "producer" is often just a writing credit.
people watches television
If you've never watched people watch television, I don't recommend it. It's not an exciting thing to do.
television film possibility
There's a lot that you can do in television that you can't do with a film, theoretically. At the time, the only possibility was to do a movie.
