I am in Ghost Rider but I'm not sure when it's coming out.

I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.

Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.

We own our movie and are now close to breaking even, even without finishing domestic DVD deals.

Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.

The day I showed up to South Carolina to work, I was with my kid and my ex and our dog and Kirk was hanging with this weird guy and I kind of defined the two of them by his friend and made a vow to avoid him.

It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.

Yeah, I'd done a bunch of pilots. Some that had gone for a while. One that went for 13 episodes. But I had never been on a show that had lasted more than that.

I remember working on movies like Gettysburg and feeling that Jeff Daniels was kind of a mentor.

Then I did The Tao of Steve and that was at Sundance in 2000 where it did really well.

Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.

I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before, but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.

I got a lot of flak for having Kirk as the lead because they all claimed it was a much harder sell, but no one else could have done that part for many reasons.

Ultimately, it has been a struggle- but I was in Minneapolis and Austin a couple of weeks ago, sitting in theaters with complete strangers watching this weird movie that Kirk and I thought up and I was excited to be making film.

I honestly feel like we never had a bad episode by TV standards. Every week I felt there were so many strong components of the show, especially the writing.

Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.

I am in Ghost Rider but I'm not sure when it's coming out.

No, I'm not a comic book guy. I'm pretty fascinated with the subculture though and I do think that the world of comic books is such a natural transition into film.

I did pilots here and there but mostly I was doing little bits in movies.

It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.

A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that. The one thing that I do know is that, as long as I'm prepared, I know this environment and this world.

Follow your deepest dream, the one you had as a kid... but stay focused.

I have to say that it was a thrilling ride to be on 'Terriers.' It was this odd circumstance where it was really loved by the people it was loved by, but it didn't do well. In fairness to FX, they were just so generous in keeping it on the air the whole year.

I played on this soccer team, called Hollywood United, and there were a lot of old ex-international pro-players. We played this benefit match at the Rose Bowl, and the crowd streamed in. It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.

My mom, she's from Ireland, coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.

San Diego was fantastic. I think there's something about San Diego that is quite different than Los Angeles.

I am not an oligarch. I am a servant and I try to align my interests and those of my investors.

An ignorance of means may minister to greatness, but an ignorance of aims make it impossible to be great at all.

My look is either very baroque or very Zen - everything in between makes me itch.

We signed up for Showtime, which I think put us on a Homeland Security list somewhere.

My first time performing was in the black box theater of my high school's basement as a member of 'Clownaz,' the school's improv team. We charged money for tickets, saying the proceeds went to our school's recycling program. Then, immediately after the show, we divided up all the money and kept it.

I love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don't like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around.

The Ocean Health Index is like the thermometer of the ocean. It will allow us to take the temperature to know what is going on at the global level, trying to integrate different impacts, including overfishing, invasive species, coastal development, and climate change.

I went to school in Gainesville because it was a huge punk and folk town. So I went to class twice a week, and then I went to shows and wrote. I did a lot of music writing before I actually started playing music.

Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you're listening. Playing the piano allows you to do both at the same time.

When we are at the worst times of our lives, when we are battling with something, or struggles, whatever it may be, when we are at our highest point as well, when things are going really well, we want somebody to comfort us and be there for us and to say, 'Well done.' That's Jesus!

Beauty and fullness of tone can be achieved by having the whole orchestra play with high clarinets and a carefully selected number of piccolos.

The one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.

The foundation of collectivism is simple: There should be no important economic differences among people. No one should be too rich.

Good planting design does not follow a formula. At best, it allows you to experiment with nature and through nature to make an original statement. As in all of the arts, the best garden designers take risks. Only by taking risks can you come up with something exciting and original.

Just watching Jack Lemmon made me want to get into this business.

There will be hundreds of new companies that will be created to develop these very simple data devices.

I need to be working with the art world in N.Y.C. as much as I need to be working in my studios in Chicago and rural Wisconsin.

Che Guevara was a racist.

Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.

The 'peace movement' exists only in the fantasies of the paranoid.

Never give up because you never know what the tide will bring in the next day.

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.

If I were sufficiently romantic I suppose I'd have killed myself long ago just to make people talk about me. I haven't even got the conviction to make a successful drunkard.
