"On '77 Sunset Strip' it would say on the front page of the scripts, 'You may not change one word,' you know, under the penalty of death… it was written that clearly. We would shoot all morning based on the script. Then we would go to lunch in the commissary; the essential cast. We'd sit at a big round table reserved for us. We'd bring the scripts, bring our pencils— rewriting the rest of the day's work and not say anything to anybody. The producers would see the dailies and say 'terrific day's work.' Never catching on that we had changed a little here, changed a little there."

"From when I got onto 'Becker,' I was starting to do something else at night. This was my mistress. I had this idea. I don't know where it came from, I don't know how it developed -- doing a show set in the 60s… But what I really wanted to do was a story about someone who was like me -- who was 35 years old and had everything and was miserable."

"At the end of the day, what we all hope to do is be a part of something eternal. Something that continues to inspire generation after generation and I really hope our show ['Mad Men'] is one of those."
