When people say formula, there's almost a little bit of a negative construct to it. It's nice when people describe someone as a "hit factory," but it makes it sound like you're just making baked beans or something.

I know that a lot of people like to say "formula." I think that as soon as you start to have a formula imputed to your work, you're in danger of becoming formulaic. So the one formula I have as a rule is falling in love with the material.

Really, the idea of creating consistent quality of a show is complicated. It's not like making refrigerators. There's something very specific to each one of the shows, each episode of each show and that involves a really great team doing great work.

Music is therapy for me. It's my outlet for every negative thing I've ever been through. It lets me turn something bad into something beautiful.

Amy Lee Singer

I'm not a negative-minded person. But maybe to keep me humble, I look more at my bad games in big situations than good ones.

Anytime you have a negative feeling toward anyone, you're living in an illusion. There's something seriously wrong with you. You're not seeing reality. Something inside of you has to change. But what do we generally do when we have a negative feeling? "He is to blame, she is to blame. She's got to change." No! The world's all right. The one who has to change is you.

Anthony De Mello Writer

I believe that, by and large, people are good and everybody you meet is more likely to surprise you in a positive way than in a negative way.
