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

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'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.

I really had no idea when I pitched the series that it would lead to so much fun and so much connecting with kids and moms.

The inventor knows HOW to borrow.

The future belongs, not to those who have the most, but to those who do the most with what they have.

Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away hunger.

When the necessary eleven days were added, George Washington’s birthday, which fell on February 11, 1731, Old Style, became February 22, 1732, New Style.

There's nothing wrong with setting goals, but it doesn't mean a thing if you don't pay attention to the day-to-day details.

Death means that a form of life dissolves or that the imminent possibility of dissolution exists, whether through our own death or through illness or old age.

Some of the free lunch programs were still goin' on - based on the last leg of the Black Panther Party.

I think pot should be legalized, but I think the promotion of party culture is irresponsible.

If you cannot speak your brokenness, your brokenness will speak for you.

The enigma of cinema is gone because of the focus on business. As soon as you attach numbers to a film, you limit it. Films are meant to be an escape from reality.
