Creative Person Quotes - Page 6

• A creative person can suddenly realize it's not 90 minutes. They haven't got to do three acts, they haven't got to do the arc, but they can do other things. I think just as novellas turned into novels, I think that television series can begin to have that depth.

• What is absolutely true is that any good [Television] series has a specific voice. And I think that voice is almost exclusively the domain of the executive producer. . . .

• I was very combative as a creative person at that time [while The Ben Stiller Show]. I didn't understand how to play politics with the studios.
