Without any intended hubris, I've lead a pretty exciting life. What I've tried to do in Mission Compromised is draw on those experiences to create a sense of excitement and realism within the story.

I don't lead a particularly exciting life away from work.

There's still a very exciting story to tell in Snowmass. The renaissance of Snowmass is underway. There's still something like $28 million in development projects currently going on in town without including Base Village.

I had a very exciting life in Italy, and I was doing lots of variety shows.

Having children is exciting. Life puts the past into perspective.

All that I ask out of life is that it be constant and unending euphoria.
