Over the last half century the television interview has given us some of TV's most heart-stopping and memorable moments.

It's not an accident that both my sister and I are writers. Our parents created an accidental Petri dish.

I think anybody who has been in the theater, prefers it. Television is a... factory. You turn out things on a revolving assembly line. You don't have time to perfect anything in television. ↗
