The belief that the good in American society will finally win out... I don't believe any more.

In every interview I have ever read or seen or taken part in the final question in our future-oriented society is always What next?

In a closed society where everybody's guilty the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves the only final sin is stupidity.

I finally decided one day reading science fiction magazines of the time I could do at least as well as some of these people are doing. So I finally made a serious effort.

And finally no matter how good the science gets there are problems that inevitably depend on judgement on art on a feel for financial markets.

This Olympics is almost a little sad. It is my final Olympics. There are a lot of good memories.

'Vegas' was something very close to me. I had such a blast doing that. I'm still a little upset that we never really got to shoot that final episode. So many people were invested in it. I'll always be sad about that.

Deep down I reckon the sweetest moment will come when it's finally all over. When at last I know that I can stop fighting. Of course it'll also be a little sad. The sweetest moments y'know always come with just a little sadness.

The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort - the opening terror. Conversely the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing - the opening a wonderfully joyous moment.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs the final battleground of the American dream where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.
