I was really tired of words like 'plus size,' 'round' and 'large.' I thought, 'Come on, we're fat.'

You'll never be disappointed if you always keep an eye on uncharted territory, where you'll be challenged and growing and having fun.

In retrospect, I think it's a plus, because now we've been able to go back and spend extra time on each of those episodes and make them better.

40% of what I've done was a mistake. I now call it R&D.
