One of the things that happens in the business is that success is a very strange thing in that if you are involved in something very successful the next person wants you to repeat it.
I think television has always been one to replicate when something's successful.
I always think part of success is being able to replicate results, taking what is interesting or viable about yourself as a professional person and seeing if you bring it into different situations with similar results.
Knowing that my ancestry had all been quite wealthy and owned their own businesses probably left me with the ambition to replicate what they'd done.
You can achieve almost any goal if you just do what other successful people have done to achieve the same goals before you.
Also, it's risky to try to duplicate earlier success. Magician had a certain charm to it, mostly due to my choice of lead characters, that I would be hard put to duplicate.
I definitely think 'Minecraft' is a freak thing. There's no way you could replicate it intentionally.
I don't lose sleep over failures. I worry about the successes and how they can be replicated.
