In my opinion, it would be a lot better for the culture - meaning the culture of America - if there was more diversity in terms of storyline. In terms of the kind of content that you see about Americans of African descent on the screen.
It was somewhere in doing the last season of 'Leverage' that John Rogers and I became confident that we had developed an all-new production technique where we could put more on the screen with very little money. So we started to get more comfortable with the idea of trying to tackle 'The Librarians.'
I never have kids in movies or in TV shows.
Every political persuasion has something they want to get off the screen.
My children can't see many of the films that I've been in because I'm always either dying or taking my clothes off.
I seriously object to seeing on the screen what belongs in the bedroom.
The reason I use ed is that I don't want to lose what's on the screen.
In a perfect world, the entertainment and media industry and the content on our screens would reflect the true American scene.
I think you get less takes on TV than in movies.
We were trained from cartoons. Everything who was on the screen was chosen. Anything who was not there was deliberately not there.
The future of American film lies on television.
I don't have control over what's on screen, and that's terrifying.
I've grown up watching cinema from around the world, and there are films that have scenes that are far steamier than what we are required to do on screen.
I think that the best television now is giving you a three-act experience.
Anything you see on the screen was at one point approved by me.
Every single thing you see on-screen came out of somebody's creativity. It doesn't exist. Nature didn't deliver it to us. Everything had to be dreamed.
All the audience cares about is what you put up on the screen.
Only the picture matters. It's what goes on the screen that counts.
Even though the topic [of slavery] itself is the big, screaming elephant in the room, we still get a chance to have fun and enjoy what is on the screen, and we have moments where we're actually happy.
