I've turned down shows offering large amounts of money.

If the 'street' is required to own a large portion of this amount, it likes to have it on their terms, which usually results in higher yields and lower prices.

Barbra Streisand has accomplished so much, and Dustin Hoffman as well. They are down to earth and approachable. I admire that.

I didn't work hard to sit down and not work.

San Diego is able to attract a certain amount of national shows because it's a nice place to go to.

Comedy Central was a great network, but 'Chappelle's Show' took it to a completely different level. Other shows got bigger because so many viewers were watching the 'Chappelle' reruns. For BET, the 'Real Husbands of Hollywood' has that same potential.
