The Birth Of Any Show Is Always

It's About The Power Of Design And The Power Of The Human Spirit. It's Above Paying Anybody To Do Something Stupid For Money Like Reality Television Does - Like Ambushing People.

Being On Oprah? You Realize That There Are A Couple Of Types Of Audience Members. There Are Like The Cult People In The Audience Who Are Just Crying Before She Gets On. And Then There Are The People Who Are Playing It Cool. I Definitely Was Somewhere In The Middle.

We Worked Out A Lot Of Bugs And Figured Out Who Was Working And Who Wasn't And How This Beast Functions. It Was A Lot Bigger Than We Actually Thought, And Now We Have A Well-run Ship Where It Feels I Can Actually Have Time To Imagine And Not Just Stress Out About Everything.

I Think Taking Design Out Of The Studio And Really Having A Relationship With The People That You're Making It For Really Convinced Me Of How Powerful A Thing Design Is. It's Not Just An Aesthetic Decoration.

But Instead Of That Stuff You Get Relationships With People And Neighbors That You Would Never Get In A City. People In Small Towns Are A Lot More Open.
