| Quotes: |
I've created a lot of cult hits which is code for cancelled quickly. People come up to me about American Gothic, Invasion and Roar. Some people know and really love those shows and if you go to Comic-con, there's an audience for them but in the world at large those shows are little drops in a creative bucket. |
