Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.
When I look back at it, I'm mostly amazed at how poorly it was shot. David Kelley is a great writer, and I thought the scripts were great, but it just looks so cheap.
We had a great group of guys when I was there, five of us, I think. It's a great competition. Every practice was hard. I think that's helped us a lot, everybody that was there.

I may not have proved a great explorer, but we have done the greatest march ever made and come very near to great success.
