Making a film is so hard that if you don't have your main actors going along with the ride with the rest of the crew it can make your life very difficult.
I really like scripted dramas. My favorite show of all time would have to be 'Lost': I loved how the writers and producers were able to weave the different storylines together; and the acting in that show was incredible.
I did a musical episode of 'Scrubs.'
I'm incredibly proud of 'Hannibal' and the cast - I feel like we're doing really good television.
'Wings' was a blessing, but it was also very difficult. Whenever you do situation comedy, no matter how excellent the execution - and we had a great cast and great writers - but the format is somewhat limited.
We had an amazing experience shooting the first season of 'Leverage' with such a talented cast and crew and with the full support of TNT behind us.
'Heirs' is really a good drama. Everyone put out their heart and soul into this series, from the actors to the whole staff. That's why I think we won awards for this drama.
The running across the field thing, that was the first scene we shot in the movie. We asked the audience to stay for the scene, and 37,000 people stayed.
I think with 'Modern Family,' you'll struggle to find anything better. It's brilliantly, brilliantly written.
[Reviewing a production of Uncle Tom's Cabin] The dogs were poorly supported by the cast.
As an author, you hope for a director and a cast that will make something wonderful out of your book.
A lot of people feel that 'Music Man' is a good movie musical.
For film fans to support 'The Imitation Game' means so much to me, the entire cast and film-making team.
I liked working with Tom Christopher as he was great as Hawk, and Wilfred Hyde White but I wished it were in a different context as the changes really tuned off the audience.
There's no way you can deliver 'the greatest musical of the century.'
I was grateful to have two weeks to shoot this one scene in Harry Potter. It's a big, big scene, but they have to deliver. And they have high expectations.
