I Couldn't Direct Because I'm

I've Never Really Topped Myself, Because Awards In Themselves Really Don't Reflect Major Accomplishment. It's Kind Of A Strange, Backslapping Ritual That We Go Through In This Town Where You Get Awards For Almost Everything. For Surviving The Day You're Going To Get Awards.

I Think I'd Rather Win, For Example, A Writer's Guild Award Than Almost Anything On Earth. And The Few Nominations I've Had With The Guild, And The Few Awards I've Had, Represented To Me A Far More Legitimate Concrete Achievement Than Anything.

How Can You Put Out A Meaningful Drama When Every Fifteen Minutes Proceedings Are Interrupted By Twelve Dancing Rabbits With Toilet Paper? No Dramatic Art Form Should Be Dictated And Controlled By Men Whose Training And Instincts Are Cut Of An Entirely Different Cloth. The Fact Remains That These Gentlemen Sell Consumer Goods, Not An Art Form.

People Are Put Down In Television Now, Not Because They're Not Qualitative, Not Because They're Not Talented - But Because There's No Room For Them, And Worse Than That, There's Nowhere They Can Find Exposure. Their Own Good Talent May Die Of Mourning, Just For Want Of Having Somebody Read What They've Written. I Don't Presume To Say How We Can Best Provide Platforms For New Writers To Get Read. I Don't Know. But Therein Lies The Major Problem.

I Choose To Think Of Tv Audience As Nameless, Formless, Faceless People Who Are All Like Me. And Anything That I Write, If I Like It, They'll Like It.
