I've been on the board of UCLA Film and TV School, and I went to UCLA. I realized that the same movie theater that was there when I went to school, 30 years later is the same movie theater in the same condition. There was an opportunity to refurbish an existing room, and I jumped at the opportunity. Darren Star boardconditionexist share on social
When you're doing a single-camera show, it's more buying into a level of reality. I think a sitcom, a four-camera show, doesn't require that so much. I think with a film show, you just need the characters to grow. Darren Star buycameracharacter share on social
I think L.A. has got a great lifestyle, but I love New York. You couldn't do 'Broad City' in L.A. because L.A. is a much gentler place. The standard of living is so different. Darren Star broadcitygentl Change image and share on social

I don't know if it's conscious that I gravitate towards women, but it's certainly evolved that way. Darren Star characterconsciousemotional share on social
I think certainly that looking for love is a big part of the show, but I think that if - there's one thing that is different about 'Sex and the City' and the message that I think has resonated with viewers, especially women. It's that you don't need to get married. You don't really need that love to be fulfilled. Darren Star bigcityfulfill share on social
When 'Sex and the City' aired its first season, people didn't know about HBO as a place for original series. People weren't saying, 'Oh I've got to watch 'Sex and the City'!' They found it later. In some ways, it helped change what people thought of HBO. Darren Star airchangecity share on social

I'm used to pressure. When writing must get done, I work in bed, on a bus, a train. Darren Star bedbuspressure Change image and share on social
