I Don't Do The Whole L.a. Nightlife

But Obviously, Things Have Changed In Many Ways Since The '50s, When The Show Is Started, In Terms Of Sexuality, And How Much Access We Have To Images Of It And Information About It. But, The Same Problems Always Apply. It Doesn't Matter Whether We Know A Lot More About Sex Now Or If There's A Lot More Access To It. The Same Problems Of Intimacy, Of Dealing With Other People, Of Connecting And Being Vulnerable With Other People, Which Is What The Show Is Ultimately About, Still Applies Now, I Think.

I Can Be A Lazy Dresser.

When You Come To Actually Act, It's A Game. It May Be A Very Serious Game, But It's Still A Game. If You Lose That Sense Of Play, The Work Suffers.

I Find Increasingly That The More Extreme Are The Things Going On In Your Life, The More Cultural Reference Points Fail You. More Mythical Reference Points Actually Help, And You Realize That's What Myths Are For. It's For Human Beings To Process Their Experience In Extremis.

And So, In Terms Of Setting The Right Tone And Finding A Way Of Presenting All Of These Things, That Creates A Cohesive Whole And Doesn't Alienate The Audience, Is Tough. That's A Challenge. And I Think The Tone Of A Lot Of Shows Is Discovered Through Experimentation And Actually Making It. Eventually, It Starts To Cohere.
