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

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.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

Your political reputation affects how likely allies are to trust you, and what kind of deals they'll offer at the negotiating table. There's also some emotional response in there, so factions do bear grudges. Just like the real thing.

We've been able to access deals that under our former relationship with Disney - with tax advantages and strategic partners - that we just weren't able to do.

I've never had a penny through oil deals and no one has produced a shred of evidence that I have.

Psychology is the science of the act of experiencing, and deals with the whole system of such acts as they make up mental life.

Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

I don't have the fire in the belly right now. It's one of those been there, done that deals.

And that movie was underrated - Nuts - because it deals with a terrible subject, but It's very well done.

Others like City Hall the old way, when they could make deals behind closed doors with your tax money.

Business is not just doing deals; business is having great products, doing great engineering, and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally, business is a cobweb of human relationships.

To the person that deals in visualizations, I suppose there is something rather exciting about a whole set of people - they all going symmetrically, up or down, in a military sort of precision.

I think if you look at the themes that are presented in the film, some are inherently social, and I think that any film which deals with the family is dealing with the smallest social unit in our society - and in a sense it is a question of scope.

So many directors are solely focused on their own success in Hollywood and multimillion dollar budgets and deals.

The deals that were made for Black artists at that time were not the deals that were made for white artists.

I hate politics, hate deals, and deal-making, hate meeting with attorneys and agents.

Americans are very friendly and very suspicious, that is what Americans are and that is what always upsets the foreigner, who deals with them, they are so friendly how can they be so suspicious they are so suspicious how can they be so friendly but they just are.

Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone.

Every generation deals with the breaking down of its tradition, and I think that they rediscovered the film.

Having a lot of people suddenly depending on me to get the job done was a marvelous motivator. The book and movie deals seemed to flip a switch in my head, and off I went.

In other words, the man who is born into existence deals first with language; this is a given. He is even caught in it before his birth.

In life, people sometimes make rotten deals.

So much of a professional athlete's success depends upon not necessarily the play itself but how he deals with... always saying how you deal with good, is just as important as how you deal with bad.

I am so used to seeing the sort of play which deals with one man and two women. They do not leave me with the feeling I have made a full theatrical meal they do not give me the experience of the multiplicity of life.
