When in life do you get a black and white printout that says this is what you should do? It just doesn't happen.

In the history of pilot reports, 'Seinfeld' has got to be one of the worst of all time.

Innovation comes to you from creators who do have a vision and a passion, and that is how we succeeded.

NBC's pilot season of 1994 is legendary in the business. In a world where failure is commonplace, we midwifed the birth of both 'Friends' and 'ER'. While 'ER' came essentially out of the blue, we'd been casting around for a 'Friends'-like show for some time at the network.

Creating things sometimes is difficult.

One way in which 'Friends' did resemble 'Seinfeld' is that it really found its audience over the summer of 1995 in reruns. That's when the main title song, 'I'll Be There for You', by the Rembrandts, exploded, too.

I loved growing up in Montclair... I think it's grown and changed and embraced change.

When you're still in the broadcast business, you're still trying to reach tens of millions. You're trying to still aim for a broader audience, and I think that's a more difficult task to spread yourself across that audience, connect with them, as opposed to a very, very small, pinpointed audience. Difficult to do.

While 'Friends' was about a 20-something population and what they were going through, they were also dealing with issues with their family.

There's no reason that there has to be a fringe network that illuminates an urban or a multiethnic experience.
