Anybody in television lives under grinding deadlines.
My only problem, and this has been a constant worry on television, is time management. The deadlines on television are killing.
My making it is a combination of grinding, grinding, grinding and being lucky enough to finally get a shot.
There is no doubt that directing television has helped hone my directing skills. What television teaches you is to be efficient and to think on your feet. You have to adhere to strict deadlines and budget constraints.
Television is all about deadlines.
All writers are forced to live within deadlines, and deadlines determine how good they can be.
Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation.
Television moves fast, and you don't have the indulgences you have when you're shooting movies of so many takes because there are tight deadlines.
One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.
Publishing is, by its nature, about deadlines, and deadlines are toxic.
Deadlines concentrate the mind. But deadlines should not be dogmas.
Working with Moschino, a real high fashion Italian brand, maybe I'm under tighter deadlines, but sometimes under tight deadlines you do your best work.
Reality television is to television what marble and gold are to real estate. The point is to dispense with the idea of taste. It's all id. The more unrestrained the better. We all know that 'reality' in reality television is not real. That anybody who would participate in reality television is a fake. But pretending otherwise makes them real.
Children always assume the sexual lives of their parents come to a grinding halt at their conception.
GOALS are dreams with deadlines, and without those deadlines, our dreams are dead in the water.
If all you're doing is grinding for the man, it's going to burden you. Once you say, 'Hey, I'm grinding for the man, but I'm putting money away, and this is part of my exit strategy,' you're working for you.
You can't really gauge the difficulties of television. There's difficulties and joys that happen with an amazing, great team, when one is working. Television can be a very frustrating job for almost anybody working in television, because you're shooting episodically, and you don't know one scene from the next, and maybe they change around.
