Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn't happened to us.

Because we are in a war situation, this can sometimes be dangerous work. But guys like A.D. Flowers and his technicians just take it in stride and get on with the job. In four years, we've never had a serious accident or injury working with all the explosions.

Each show comes with its own set of problems to work through.

Then you'd have found me pinned beneath a large metal pipe.

You're a hundred percent correct about our show being tops in quality.

Last summer a second unit production crew went to France and shot scenes for several of this season's episodes. They shot costumed actors in and around real castles and landmarks, we couldn't possibly have duplicated here in Hollywood.

So, it looks like we rebuild the village and blow it apart a few more times.

I haven't seen the show, but when it was finished I felt good about what we had done. I don't know how it will stack up with Survival, but that'll be up to the critics.

I think we've shot scenes from every angle directors can think of to make it look like different villages. I've directed a couple shows on that set and believe me, it's impossible not to duplicate some camera angles.

Our cast and crew strive for this show after show hard as they can. It shows in the finished product.

I don't like to direct myself.

Success isn't about the end result, it's about what you learn along the way.

It is highly impossible for you to be successful at what you dont love. Do what you love and love what you do.

School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn.

In our world of sleek flesh and collagen, Botox and liposuction, what we most fear is the dissolution of the body-mind, the death of the brain.

For years, my colleagues and I - primarily Republicans but also some Democrats - have introduced legislation and written to the FCC asking the commission to cease attempts to regulate the Internet unless given the clear authority to do so by Congress.

I just want to live happily ever after, every now and then.

My passion is my family and the world of fashion.

Who serves his country well has no need of ancestors.

I was thinking, 'If I go bald, I might do something like Bret Michaels and have it all attached to a handkerchief.'

I worship talents almost. I sinfully dare mourn that I possess them not.

As the President reviewed the state of the union and unveiled his second-term agenda, he fell short of adequately explaining how he intends to set America back on the course of fiscal responsibility and secure the fiscal health of the nation.

Cooking can be rewarding when it is a choice and no longer the onerous duty of the housewife, and when a dishwasher can lighten the load at the other end of the process.

For the most part, the only contact that most Quebecers have with the world of Islam is through these images of violence, repeated over and over: wars, riots, bombs, the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Boston marathon... The reaction is obvious: We'll have none of that here!

At present I answer about 100 letters a month, and read 300 emails.

We get a lot of overseas people wanting to order cakes.

If you want to have sustained joy, you have to not only make sure that you think right, but you also have to make decisions now that are going to guarantee some joy in the future.

What I think happens today is that a lot of filmmakers look at other films that are retro pieces, like L.A. Confidential, and say, oh, that's period. We didn't want to do the stereotypical stuff.

I don't do every song that comes my way; I'm very choosy.

I've always regarded nature as the clothing of God.

Faithfulness flows from you, gratefulness is what I feel for you. No matter where we are in life, I know that you will always be there for me like a guiding star.

There are so many societies, so many churches, so many -isms, that it is almost impossible for an independent man to succeed in a political career.

Our supporters can send the message that its wrong for politically connected corporations to make millions while people doing an honest days work are being cheated out of an honest days pay.

Find the love you seek, by first finding the love within yourself. Learn to rest in that place within you that is your true home.

You don't want to make awards the reason you're doing things.
