Vicki Lawrence

"Well, 'Mama's Family' is sort of set in some kind of time warp... I've often said that I think she's kind of like 'Archie Bunker' in that we all know him, we all have one in our family, none of us will ever fess up to being him, so none of us are offended by him. And I think 'Mama's' a lot the same way. You don't have to think about it: there's nothing sexual, there's nothing dark, there's nothing cynical, there's no message, it's just silly, good laughing for no good reason."

Person

Darren Star
"If I had more of a typical career, I probably would have just stayed on '90210' for 10 years and never left. Because I think that's what you're supposed to do. You're not supposed to ever leave a hit show. But I was too young and just had too much of a creative appetite to do that and so I just chose to always take risks and try new things and that's what I keep doing."
Person

Marian Rees

"As a producer, something comes in front of you and you say 'Oh, I just have to tell that story.' A movie like 'Love is Never Silent' allows people with disabilities to watch and say 'We're seeing ourselves on the screen. We are visible. We are now visible.'"

Person

Reza Badiyi
"The best secret for a director is more and more preparation… You often feel that the worst thing will happen. What if it doesn't work? That's the fear of failure. Or you start thinking, 'I'm going to do this phenomenal thing' and you get very high about creating. In between those two there is a plateau that you wish and you pray to have, that you can provide an opening where every individual can function at their best… If you can provide that kind of atmosphere, you are a genius. And if you are prepared you can do that."
Person

Dan Castellaneta
"It opened up comedy writing to aspects of family life that weren't explored as much; because not only does 'The Simpsons' parody the family, but it parodies the American small town... trying to get to a certain kind of truth."
Person

Yeardley Smith

“I have an affinity for risk…It’s not that I’m fearless. I just have an overabundance of courage.”
