A Quote by Ted Danson

I always try to be ironistic in everything I do. I love people who understand humor and who live through humor.

You have more and more people coming into the tent with the creative guys [on Hollywood films]. You have marketing and concept testers, advertising people. What you find gets the high numbers is easily appealing subjects: a baby, a big broad joke, a high concept. Everything is tested.
