Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Sarah: (on 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip') The engine was running so long on this baby before it ran out of the gate, I think it just overpowered people. It was like the audience was being held at gunpoint and the message was, 'You better watch the best damn show on television or else.' That's liable to turn anybody off.
  Edit Share Hide
- Sarah: (on criticism against 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip') It's not the easiest thing to deal with because it's kind of your baby. You feel like, 'Hey, don't pick on my kid because you don't like his shirt or you think he's not talented'.
  Edit Share Hide
- Sarah: Most new shows that break, Lost, Desperate Housewives, all these shows had an opportunity to just kind of let the audiences find them. I think people are always a little reticent when things are being slammed down their throats.
