Sometimes it may seem to us that there is no purpose in our lives, that going day after day for years to this office or that school or factory is nothing else but waste and weariness.

In high school, some of the guys were really into music. When I first joined the team as a sophomore, I was blown away when we came out for our first home match. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about it. The seniors would bring their whole stereo system.

Even when I hear the songs now I get all jacked up.

One thing led to anotherand the United States ended up dropping two atomic bombs on the sovereign nation of Japan”.
Brian Regan

I'm still learning. It's all a learning curve. Every time you sit down, with any given episode of any given show, it is a learning curve. You're learning something new about how to tell a story. But then, I've felt that way about everything I've ever done - television, features or whatever. Directing or writing, it always feels like the first day of school to me.
Frank Darabont
