"As an executive, I think people have to be given their due. I think if you're hiring somebody because you think they're very talented, you need to let them do what it is that they do. I also think that you have to give them the opportunity in the community to be viewed as important. Otherwise, you have to be in every meeting, and what's the point of that?"

Aaron Spelling
"I think you have to love what you're doing. I'm a big football and baseball fan, but I can't remember the name of the firstbaseman of the Dodgers, but I can tell you that you didn't get that shot or you trimmed that shot of the man at the bar. I don't know. But it's kind of fun to make sure. That's why you have to read these scripts and get an imprint in your mind of what the show is."

"Television will always be here. It is the most powerful medium I've known of since the first time I saw it and why I switched from advertising to television. And when it's used for all of its good, it's fabulous."

'You and your crazy friends took our money and went out and had a good time, but we can't air this because people won't understand it.' I said, 'Well, you understood it, and the audience is smarter than you are.'"
Person

Jonathan Winters
"You've got to study people. If you go to Actor's Studio, fine. If you take lessons from someone, fine. There are all kinds of workshops and comedy stores and dramatic workshops... but you must be an observer. You must look at everything around you."
