What we really wanted to call it was 'I Rhoda Book.'

You can't remember the plot of the Dr Who movie because it didn't have one, just a lot of plot holes strung together. It did have a lot of flashing lights, though.

There are three ways to achieve stardom. Do a hit Broadway play, make a top box-office feature, or go into a successful TV series.

Summer is a great opportunity for all of cable. People love to find original episodes.

The greatest thing about the call-in show is that you always felt like you were on a high wire without a net.

Things can change on a daily basis in television. You can be introduced to aspects of your character that you had no idea existed because they didn't exist a week before. The next week it might be...

I don't sing. If I could sing or dance, I would have done something really gross in a G-string by now - when I wasn't working and was desperate - and ruined my career.

Borderlands' is a horrific failure if our goal is to entertain the world.

I love horror because you can never just sit back in your seat. You always have to be on the edge of it.

I'm always envious of the actors who get to come to work every day and really grow deep roots there, but it is really fun playing lots of different characters.

I think the audience expect me to be on saas-bahu dramas - such shows attract me also.

I don't think you can ever tell the story of Ted Turner's involvement in professional wrestling-slash-sports entertainment without devoting several chapters to the rise and continued ascent of Sting.

There's something about actors - not stars, but actors - if they have the character, and someone is pushing and shoving them to be the best they can be, they enjoy that.

I hate musicals. There, I said it.

I'm totally addicted to Japanese anime and spend way, way, way too much time watching it.

A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.

I actually got an initial sense of how big 'Outlander' was going to be on Twitter. We're all on there to help promote the show and also interact with the fans.

Jim Gaffigan is someone I've always been a fan of.

In this business, you're dependent on the writer, the filmmaker, the luck of beating out who knows how many people for the part. I'm over getting torn up about that.

2008 was a good year as 'Gaja' was a hit.

I want to be like Robin Williams, really. It's all the different characters he does, all the different voices.

You could have a room full of the best comedians in the world and, for some reason, Chris Farley would take the cake. He was that good, just naturally. God's gift.

To see Sridevi making tea in Boney Kapoor's kitchen was a huge letdown. I won't forgive him because he brought the angel down from heaven to the kitchen of his apartment.

It was really fun working with Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz on set.

Except here it's more power, more energy, younger and also in Europe it's still not only entertainment. Theater or films are looked at as a moral institution. That's why maybe they're so poetic. Here...

But I prefer to go to comedies. Give me Julia Roberts smiling anyday.

You make 'em, I amuse 'em.

I would like to do maybe a smaller romantic comedy.

The 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' shows, they're great shows. But I think I need to make a show like that, directed straight to the hood, to the artists that don't get the attention, that don't have...

Nobody would know it to look at me, but the movies I liked as a kid were musicals - 'All That Jazz,' 'Hair,' 'Fame,' 'Annie,' all that stuff - that's where my little youthful imagination was.
