24 isn't like other shows, where you set the look once and you're done. The show started at midnight, then moved to a pre-dawn look, and now we're at dawn and we're warming up the day.

It's rare that scenes last more than 2 or 3 minutes, so sound helps segue from one scene to another.

I had no special effects, no monsters running around, nothing blew up; those things are all things I've done so many times that they lose their allure after a while.

Everyone was going to play their part honestly, and not try and pretend to be good or bad guys.

I've always been a bit of a sound freak in the movies I've done.

We shoot double episodes in 15 days in Los Angeles.

I had a birthday one night on a farm we were shooting on. I walked into the tent, and there were 150 people waiting for me, all wearing masks of my face.

If people aren't in sync, things won't work out well.

I directed 24's pilot. I felt we should follow the characters around as if we were a documentary crew, using available light, hand-held cameras, split screens, sound that isn't always what it should be, to suit the reality of the premise.

To be able to rely completely on the actors was a very simple process for me.

Dark impulses certainly exist in me and, I think, in most people.

It's been exciting to be able to go forward with stuff without 10,000 people saying, It should be like this.

There's no attempt to manipulate the audience. We made our choice at the start.

I have an adult emotional life and an editing system inside me which prevents me from being preposterously stupid.

Each environment has its own signature. Sound tells a story: You make choices about what you're hearing, where to look, how you want to feel about what's going on.

Knowing that Gene and Morgan were playing those roles made it much easier to put the script together-we knew who we were writing it for. It took some mystery away.

Because of all the concurrent stories going in 24 and its fast pace, it can be complicated in terms of the story, so I thought sound could help with the storytelling.

We use a lot of source music on some shows and none on others.

There were no previews; we made the film we wanted to make.

We can recognize the dawn and the decline of love by the uneasiness we feel when alone together.

I think we will have a boy baby and he will be born on the 20th of August. Everyone else has a girl baby and at times I don't believe I should mind having a little Phyllis Dawn but Dearest wants a boy and I do.

Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and numbs my brain, I seek relief in the trail; and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy.

I don't think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day. I think there's some notion that poor people lie about all day not doing anything.

Rush Limbaugh is good for the party. Drive it all the way down, take it down as low as it can go, make complete fools of themselves, because it's always darkest before the dawn, and then maybe a moderate can come in and rescue them.

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.

These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly, waking in the dawn of the morning, in the evening will be a pitiful frivolity, sleeping in the cold night's arms.

And that will increasingly dawn on people. The demand for controlling the commanding heights will grow.

Each time dawn appears, the mystery is there in its entirety.

Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close.

So it's conceivable I'll do something insane, or more insane than Dawn of the Dead. If that's possible.

Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.

I feel, as never before, how justly, from the dawn of history to the present time, men have paid the homage of their gratitude and admiration to the memory of those who nobly sacrifice their lives, that their fellow-men may live in safety and in honor.

Even though it was six o'clock, there was no sense of approaching dawn.
