"I got used to it quickly, because it's an easier job than what I was doing. I was making four or five films a year, mostly independent films, around the world.

And there would be a new crew, new actors, new directors, new producers, new locations, some much worse than others. I'm not complaining about the work; I'm just saying that having a nice trailer on the set, a nice hotel, and a studio and a network behind your show is a lot easier than wondering why your tent is leaking.

-
