Every day I get more and more honest.

Survivor is like rock 'n' roll - you can do what you want.

The adventure you're ready for is the one you get!

So often, the best way to figure out who has a shot at winning is by eliminating those that you're pretty sure don't.

Reality is a genre that seems to be here to stay. I don't know how many of the new shows will last, but the more competition you have, the harder that pie is to slice up.

My goal was, and still is, to write first, direct my own stuff whenever possible and control my own creative destiny.

The thing that surprises me most is, you cannot change who you are.

I think, if I've learned anything over the years, it is that every single season is a unique one.

I love being a part of storytelling, so whether I'm getting to do that on Survivor, or do it through kids' adventure books, or directing a movie, it's all sort of the same: Once Upon a Time...

I feel good about the work I do on Survivor and am proud of my contribution.

I'm not one of these guys who says 'Now I'm on a really hot show. Better quit soon before I get labeled.' That's the most ridiculous notion I'd ever heard.

Understand: I don't ever want to be equal to any other being. I always want to be greater...in all things, in all circumstances.

Getting rid of the dictator is only a first step in establishing a free society. The dictatorship must also be disassembled.

The most important of all revolutions, a revolution in sentiments, manners and moral opinions.

Were cricket and football abolished, it would bring upon the masses nothing but misery, depression, sloth, indiscipline and disorder.

Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought.

Secrecy destroys accountability.

I did not read Gone with the Wind, although I've seen the movie, and I read every book on Margaret Mitchell.

The essence is, what can we do next? And will it be good?

I've been around Hollywood and filmmaking long enough to know that it's a tricky dangerous business when you go on camera, you got to watch yourself.
