Hosting various versions of my countdown program has kept me extremely busy, and I loved every minute of it.
You pass a program and get people dependent on it, making it brutal to get rid of. The key is not letting it get started.
Some television programs are so much chewing gum for the eyes.
In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.
Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.
Interleaf is very nice. I expect there to be a lot of competition for programs like that.
So many of today's programs are about trophies and jackets, and we think that's a big mistake.
Yeah, I'm very impressed with Lifetime, this is the first time I've worked with them. I really like the kind of programming that they're into, so I'm hoping that I will.

I grew up in a school that had a big music program, and it was incredible. It's what I looked forward to during the day. I had chorus, strings, band.
I mean, Internet radio, which is basically a guy with his iTunes putting it over the computer, is the only way you're going to get true eclectic music programmed.
I don't believe in an annual dose of film music for the sake of it being film music. If we program film music, it will be because there is a real artistic reason for doing so.
But still as compared to many, many orchestras in the world, I think you find a lot more new music and living composers on our programs than many other places.
