I'm trying to have some longevity in this business. If that means not working for a while and just picking the right job, so be it.

If you move data quality upstream and embed it in the [business] process, it's much better than trying to catch [flawed data] downstream and then fixing it in all the different applications that used it.

You've got to be picky in this business - if you're not, then I don't think you have the option of longevity. You've got to be choosy and try and do something that's outside of the box and dangerous. I love doing stuff that excites me, gives me that adrenalin rush.

Right now I'm doing four shows at a time, trying to read four outlines every week, four scripts every week, and watching four rough cuts; it's a lot of good work. It's fun to do it, but it does wear you out.

What I try to do is to appreciate every job I have while I'm working on it.

I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.
