Obviously you know where it went and what you did, but you watch yourself doing it and part of you is convinced by what you see in the mirror. And there are a lot of times when I have that feeling about the show. You pull a piece together and while you're in the process it doesn't sound that remarkable, but when it's in final form, you know, like the coin in the hand, you can fool yourself. It can appear remarkable. We tend to chat about it a lot.
More work goes into conceiving the show than producing it.
But figuring out what the story is and what you're going to go for, that takes time. And once a story is taped we may not use it. Some things you've just got to try to see if there's a story there. You'll hit gold more often if you simply try out a lot of things. Very few organizations work that way.
