    • Jason Katims: (on what it feels like to wait and learn if a television series you produce is getting picked up for an additional season or canceled.) The whole thing is kind of like having a sick relative: People are very hesitant to tell you bad news. You make phone calls, and if a network or studio executive calls you back, that's a positive sign. There's a lot to read between the lines.
    • Jason Katims: (on a story-line from season three of 'Friday Night Lights' involving a character played by D.W. Moffett as an overzealous parent) One of the stories I've always wanted to play is the parent wanting to have influence over how the coach coaches, and in this case, wanting his son to have a chance to play before Coach Taylor [Kyle Chandler] is ready to do it.
    • Jason Katims:['Friday Night Lights' is] ultimately not really about a small town, it transcends the small town, and it's about people who are not living in a privileged way. That, to me, is what makes it so compelling. You see surprisingly little of that on network television.
