Stephen J. Cannell's quotes

• Whenever something unfortunate happens in my business dealings I never sit there and observe it as a problem... The first thing I do when something goes wrong is say: 'hey, I can use this!...'
• 21 Jump Street (1987) ...Johnny was signed-up to do another season of the show ... But I released him from his contract early so he could go make movies, I wasn't going to hold him back. Because, by then, he was a Star.
• Most of my things strike to me the same theme which is not to take yourself so seriously that you can't grow.
• But I do know it's easier to think of me simply as the guy who wrote The A-Team (1983). So they do.
• I'm generally a very happy guy, because I'm doing what I want. I'm willing to tell you that there are people who are much better than I am in writing. I don't have to be the fastest gun in the West.
• Culture changed, and as that happened so did our need for a hero. That square jawed good guy began to look like an idiot to us.
• I never waited for my Irish Cream coffee to be the right temperature, with a storm happening outside and my fireplace crackling ... I wrote every day, at home, in the office, whether I felt like it or not, I just did it.
• We knew he was going to be a superstar from the beginning. He had a spirit about him that just attracted attention. I'm very happy of the tremendous success Johnny (Depp) has had in his career. He deserves it.
• It's flattering in a way that people want to see new versions of The A-Team and 21 Jump Street. I think it's nostalgia of how simple and innocent the shows were. It takes people back to a time when things weren't so complicated.
