Man no longer lives in the beginning--he has lost the beginning.

A love affair is like a short story--it has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

I see a film as a puzzle, with a beginning, middle, and end, but I like to start at the end sometimes.
Film and television are just different. Film is cool because it's a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like. But with television you get a new script every week, so it's constantly a mystery as to what you're going to be doing.
