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...

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 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.

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.

Liking other people is an illusion we have to cherish in ourselves if we are to live in society.

Never reveal what is real

There was the door to which I found no key There was the veil through which 1 might not see.

Experience, which destroys innocence, also leads one back to it.

Greater even than the greatest discovery is to keep open the way to future discovery.

It is because I owe America more than she has ever owed me that I am a candidate for president to the United States.

You're so caught up in grumbling, complaining, and seeing what's wrong that you have no energy or time to appreciate what's good.

I'm a very proud Australian, always bragging about our country wherever I am in the world.

I play dumb like Jessica Simpson plays dumb. But we know exactly what we're doing. We're smart blondes.

Ordinary human laws are the means - however imperfect - by which we express our understanding of the enduring moral law.
