I left Google after four years of working on Google Maps, search, and Google TV as a product marketing manager. I knew I wanted to do something on my own.
I'm just ah, actually developing a tv show for HBO, and I'm directing a film this summer, and actually I'm doing some live shows out in western Canada.

Some newspapers have a hands-off policy on favored politicians. But it's generally very small newspapers or local TV stations.
If I ever had any vanity, then I definitely lost it by being on television. It doesn't do you any favours in terms of showing you what you look like and what your emotions are.

If we could follow the slogan that says,"Turn off the TV and open a good book" we would do something of substance for a future generation.
Film is a very tight little box. If you don't fit in that box, you're gone. Television, there's more room to move around.

Pay-TV companies that built their businesses on the backs of local and network broadcast signals should pay a fair price for access to that high-value programming.
