The problem was to sustain at any cost the feeling you had in the theater that you were watching a real person yes but an intense condensation of his experience not simply a realistic series of episodes.

At Current television is all we do - that's our business. We don't have amusement parks I have to worry about we don't have environmental cases against us we don't have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.

I had dreams of catching the ball for the final out in the World Series and being mobbed by my teammates. Well I guess all my dreams didn't come true.

Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence even if only for an instant.

Before I pitch any game from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series I'm scared to death.

Like many of you I've always been slightly obsessed with vampires dating back to the prime-time series 'Dark Shadows ' which I followed avidly as a kid.

Life... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one things that simply won't be got rid of.

Perhaps the most effective way to describe the approach a brand must take is to think of themselves as social cartographers. By that I mean that brands must simultaneously inspire engage and maintain a series of conversations taking place within certain cultural landscape specific to their business goal.
