David Crane

“We were very, very lucky. We got the cast we wanted. It was the only cast we wanted.”

“We knew we had something special, but you never know the degree to which it will resonate.”

“The last thing you want to do is revisit characters for a pay check. I don't think that does the show or the fans any good.”

“It was a show about that time in your life when your friends are your family.”

“You write a show you want to watch. That's it. You can't chase an audience.”

“The show was about that time in your life when your friends are your family. Once you start having a family of your own, it's no longer that time.”

“We would talk about our own lives and our friends' lives, and that's where the stories came from.”

“From the very beginning, we were a show that was optimistic.”

“We really didn't want to do a reunion. We felt that the show is about a certain time in your life, and that time is over.”
