“Television is a great job for a writer in the way that movies used to be, way before my time. Back when writers in Hollywood were on staff or under contract at any given studio and you'd write movie scripts and then the movies would get made within a few weeks, such that you could be a working writer in the movie business back in the '30s and '40s and '50s and have a hand in writing five or six movies a year that actually got produced. The only thing remotely like that in the 21st century here in Hollywood is working in the TV business.” WayWritingYearsMadeHandsJobsUsedGivenFiveWeekCenturyTelevisionTvsSixHollywoodScriptsStudiosUsed To BeMy TimeContractsStaff21st CenturyBack WhenGreat JobMovie Business Author:Vince Gilligan

“I just like short hair on women, I think it's cool. And I have wanted to cut my hair for very many years, but being on contract with a television show for six years prevents you from doing that, and then being on contract with a cosmetic endorsement campaign prevents you from doing that again. So for eight years, I've had to have long, flowing locks. And I was just so sick and tired of long, flowing locks, so I chopped them.” ThinkingYearsLongShowsWantedCuttingTelevisionHairSixSickTiredEightCampaignsContractsLocksTelevision ShowsCosmeticsEndorsementsSo SickShort Hair Author:Evangeline Lilly
