The same thing that happened to Ted Lasso in the show, his expansion beyond those initial perceptions, happened to 'Ted Lasso,' the show. People thought it would be one thing, but no, it's a whole lot more.

Brendan Hunt

I all but literally had a conversation with myself of like, 'You have to stop thinking about 'Ted Lasso.' It's not healthy to think about 'Ted Lasso,' it's not going to happen, it's just not going to happen, man.'

Brendan Hunt

One of the reasons I'm proud of the show and think it works is that as much as Ted is nice and he's kind and he's passionate, his troubles are real. He doesn't exist in a vacuum. The world of 'Ted Lasso' isn't a fairy tale.

Brett Goldstein

Everyone wants to be loved; everyone wants to know where they're going in life; everyone wants to have a sense of direction and feel the next day is going to be better than today. We just all deal with it in a different way.

Jason Reitman

I basically work all day on 'Soulmates' and then all night on Zoom on 'Ted Lasso,' and I can't complain because I appreciate how absolutely insanely lucky I am.

Brett Goldstein

You've heard this phrase and I don't think I understood it until I was making 'Ted Lasso,' this thing of 'the sandbox.' It's like we build the sandbox, we have the characters, we've got the action figures, and Season 2, we get to play with them and move them around.

Nobody makes art for an elite, not if they're a real artist. You try and reach as many people as possible with whatever it is that you make. If a chef is making an omelette, he wants everyone to think that it tastes great because he did it. And if it does, then that's a success because everyone eats it.

Mel Gibson

'Ted Lasso' is still funny and it still points fingers and holds truth to power. But it does it in a way that feels like it's a net gain rather than somebody losing out.

Phil Dunster

There are some concerns that are universal. Everyone wants to be loved, and everyone wants to feel like they belong somewhere in the world. Everyone wants to do something and feel like they have a sense of purpose. These are just the things that I think about and the things that make their way into my songwriting.

Tracy Chapman

'Ted Lasso' has affected all of us - affected the cast, affected the crew, affected the writers. You can't really make a show like this without being accountable, and looking at your own behavior.

Brett Goldstein

'Ted Lasso' is many things, and I think at its worst, it's a show that is nice and shows that people can be kind and also funny.

Phil Dunster

The hesitancy that was felt by clubs before we actually shot the first one essentially went away as soon as they saw it. That has now worked as a real calling card for us because now the Premier League knows about 'Ted Lasso.'

Brendan Hunt

The only people playing the roles of classic rock stars are hip-hop artists, now. Kanye's stage persona, and the way he approaches making albums, and the way he wants to be better than everyone else? That's reminiscent of Freddie Mercury. That's reminiscent of the Beatles.

Jack Antonoff

When you sit with people you love, if you say something stupid, they call you on it - because they're honest with you and they're making you better. That's what we're as couches going to have here with our players. We're going to have an honest respect for one another, to make everyone maximize the potential they have. I expect the players to listen to me, and I'm going to listen to them. We've got to make each other better, and it's the way to create safety, because the players know you've got their backs. When you tell a player what you want, he will try to please you.

Mike Babcock

So in 'Ted Lasso,' which is an American show but set in the UK and most of the cast are British, I think that's what's interesting and what was a risk and what worked: there are two sensibilities.

Brett Goldstein

We knew that Ted Lasso was at least an optimistic guy and an enthusiastic guy, and the show was going to emanate from his energy.
