All quotes by Ray McKinnon:

If you're ever making a television show, don't cast smart actors because they are just a pain in the ass. The moment you start to bullshit them you've lost them, so you have to either know what you're talking about or when you don't talk to them.

You can't please everyone. You've got to please yourself, I guess.

From my experience and observing a lot of other people that often times that only happens - a transformational experience or shedding of the skin - happens when we are at the end of our road and there is pain involved. We have to change or we continue to live in that almost intolerable pain.

Rectify is un-busy. It might soothe you, if not distract you, from all you got going on.

There's not a conspiracy to prevent really good writing from being found You have to have the humility to fail over and over and over.
