“The job for cable is to give the news and then also give the 'so what....” — Douglas Brunt Quote

“The job for cable is to give the news and then also give the 'so what.'”

“A theme I'm obsessed with is the tension between human nature and the frameworks designed to curb the worst and promote the best of it.”

“I've thought about bringing my children to retrace my own steps of the morning of September 11, 2001, but they're too young for that. Maybe when they're twenty. Maybe by then, even though it's been only a short subway ride away for years now, I'll have the nerve to see the 9-11 memorial for the first time.”

“I've made a lot of very small movies that may not have had a large initial audience. Then it shows up on cable.”

“Television is really fertile ground, and it's because of platforms like Netflix and Hulu and, of course, the cable channels like HBO and Showtime.”

“I didn't even have cable back in my college house.”
