"I know I'm an old timer, but in the old days if you were in TV for a few years and you ended up on a network, chances are you had been in a couple of scrapes."
"I’ve always taken pride in the fact that I can work with different people. I don’t want this show to sound like Chuck & Chernoff because that chapter is closed."
