Year Two is a critical year for any television show.

It's my experience that the fluidity of sexuality with younger people is more accepted.

I think our show is very different from Orange County.

I'd started working when I was 21 and had been very determined about my career, very focused, even as a little kid, so it was something I had been working at for a long time.

It's really hard in this day and age, with radio and MTV being so consolidated, to get new music out there. I think we've become a really legitimate, viable avenue for getting new music out there.

Certainly there's got to be a little bit of reality show fatigue happening.

I want every character be an outsider in some way.

I am the kind of person that takes everything as is and then look at it from the outside looking in.

I think you're only as good as the work that you do.

Like they said about The West Wing, you can't do a show about Washington until you can.

I shall never cease to marvel at the way we beg for love and tyranny.

We can only keep what we have by being willing to freely give it away; a paraphrase of Jesus Christ.

Every emotion that we experience on a moment-by-moment basis has origin. The origin is a thought (s).

Meekly swallowing and assimilating the customs of the more powerful has always been a strategy by which the less powerful have tried to fit in.

Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

How are you managing the velocity of change?

Sometimes I think my purpose is as a saboteur when I'm working with other people, derailing what they're trying to do or taking things to a ludicrous extremity.

Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat.
