Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance.
My wife Jill and I have an incredibly close working relationship and an incredibly happy married one. We met through work. I was the world's worst advertising copywriter. She had the misfortune to be my account director so from the very start she was my boss and she still is.
The relationship between a manufacturer and his advertising agency is almost as intimate as the relationship between a patient and his doctor. Make sure that you can life happily with your prospective client before you accept his account.
This House cannot function without an open accountable and independent ethics process and the molestation of that process by the majority is an abuse of power that cannot stand.
I repeat... that all power is a trust that we are accountable for its exercise that from the people and for the people all springs and all must exist.
I just recently joined Twitter. It's very positive - I love all the accolades. If my ego is hurting I can just open my Twitter account and see 'Oh I love you! I love the show!' and it's great.

The real metric of success isn't the size of your bank account. It's the number of lives in whom you might be able to make a positive difference.
It demonstrates to his simple mind in the most positive manner that we have no prejudice against him on account of his race and that while he behaves himself he will be treated the same as a white man.
It is one of my pet hates when I see players who have agents who do everything for them. They don't know how to set up their own bank accounts they don't know what they are spending their money on and they can't make their own decisions.
Our behavior toward each other is the strangest most unpredictable and most unaccountable of all the phenomena with which we are obliged to live. In all of nature there is nothing so threatening to humanity as humanity itself.
