As Mark Weiner Puts It, Whether You Gain 50 Pounds Or Lose 50 Pounds, Whether You Have A Sex Change Operation For That Matter, That It Doesn't Matter, That There Is Some Part Of Ourselves That We Cannot Escape.

I Love Working With Actors. If You Cast The Right Person In The Right Part At The Right Time, They Make You Look Like A Better Writer And Director Than You Really Are.
