When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that's the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing.
I did not like prizes at school. I didn't like tests or exams, or the 11+, or O-levels. Later I hated B.A.s and M.A.s. The reason I hated them is that I don't like being tested, failed or falsely praised by anyone.
I was only 11 when we filmed the pilot. The idea of a rapper being a star on a sitcom just wasn't heard of.
When I moved to L.A. in 1989, the very first thing I did was this horrific pilot called To Protect And Surf.
On 'Masters of Sex,' especially in the pilot, everybody was showing up word-perfect, and you're expected to show up word-perfect.
I've sold scripts in the past, and also a TV pilot that didn't get made, to Fox. But yeah, I've been writing for a while.
Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.
I've been on pilots. I've seen shows come and go. I know that this stuff is all very fleeting, so I try to keep it cool.
The channel is known only to the natives; so that if any stranger should enter into the bay without one of their pilots he would run great danger of shipwreck.
I couldn't tell you a good, bad or ugly pilot just from reading it, but I can tell you a character I want to play.
I've produced more pilots than United Airlines, and they've all been disasters. Every audition I ever took in my life I lost.
Learning to fly an airplane taught me a way of thinking, an approach to problem-solving that was applicable and effective. Pilots are very methodical and meticulous, and artists tend not to be.
She glances at the photo, and the pilot light of memory flickers in her eyes.
I've been watching 'Californication' since the pilot aired and had always thought that it would be so much fun to guest star on.
Some struggle is healthy. If you can embrace it rather than be angry, you can use it as your pilot light.
I was 14 or 15 when I moved to L.A. permanently, but I had been out for pilot season for a few years before that.
The pilot came back and said he had just heard that Kennedy was shot.
We asked Jane Fonda if she would like to meet American pilots in Hanoi, but she refused, she didn't want to.
When you're making a pilot, what you're mostly thinking is, 'Please let this be a real job, please.'
'Dexter,' while the pilot shares moments with the novel that created the character of Dexter, they completely abandoned the book from that moment on.
I had never worked in television before 'Freaks and Geeks,' and 'New Girl' is the first time since that I've worked on a series that is actually a series and not just a pilot.
