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

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

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.

Man, if he would live, must worship. He looks around, and what to him, within the vision of his life, is the greatest and the best, that he falls down and does reverence to.

I guess I'm not that aware of such a big fan base. I have a few core people who write me no matter what I'm doing, but I hardly have sacks of mail being dropped on my door!

If you got the job in the first place mainly because you look nice, I can't see why you should keep it when you don't.
