I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.

If you ask questions that interest you, you'll get answers that interest your audience.

If your audience is young, it'd be youth culture, if your audience is older, it'd be older people, if it were senior citizens, it'd be senior citizen issues. So you try and hit the target audience.

Most people don't know what they spend in every single area, but they know they have a problem in particular areas.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.
