Quotes about:

• I think that any show that doesn't have huge ratings, that's what you're always up against. Meanwhile, conversations are ongoing.

We can only step back and do our work, and therein lies the serenity. We're hoping for the best and just doing what we love.

• The God-honest truth is that Jeff and I just do what we do. You have no control. We didn't have control last year, or the year before either, or the year before that.

• What was so great about Lost was that it came to the front door as a drama that was straight-up and really gave you the sci-fi underneath it all. It backed into sci-fi show, at least in my opinion. As soon as they got hooked, they were like, "Okay, I'm there."

• Jeff always says, "In the cinema, everybody goes to sci-fi. Those are the biggest movies. But, in television, nobody wants to touch it with a barge pole." It's strange. I think it's because maybe there's a legacy of television shows that depicted sci-fi in a certain way that turns off a lot of viewers, so maybe there's a negative connotation.

• First of all, directing was the most incredible experience. When you run a television show, directing is something that not many people actually get the time to do because you're so consumed with everything that's going on. You can't just disappear.

I would jump at the chance to do it, anytime I could.

• I'm not interested in leaving it open-ended. That would just cause me frustration. I wouldn't be satisfied.

That allowed us to actually make the closure.
