Daily Inspiration Quote by Anthony Michael Hall

"That, we encourage, and I think we're doing a pretty good job with the website and also the DVD, like the first season came out and the second season's being prepared now"

About this Quote

It’s the sound of a working actor slipping into marketer mode, and the slight awkwardness is the tell. Anthony Michael Hall isn’t delivering a grand artistic thesis here; he’s doing something more modern and, in its way, more revealing: converting performance into product continuity. The phrase “That, we encourage” suggests a larger “we” - not just a cast, but a machine: network, studio, publicity, distribution. He positions himself as both participant and spokesperson, a familiar move in the DVD-era when actors were expected to help sell the ecosystem around a show, not just the show itself.

The self-assessment - “I think we’re doing a pretty good job” - carries a defensive optimism. It’s modest enough to sound sincere, but it’s also a hedge: the job is never simply making good television; it’s maintaining attention across platforms. The casual specifics (“the website and also the DVD”) date the quote to a transitional moment in media, when official sites, bonus features, and boxed sets were the loyalty program before streaming swallowed everything. He’s signaling accessibility and responsiveness, a promise that the audience relationship doesn’t end when the episode does.

Even the clunky run-on structure matters. It reads like someone thinking in real time about rollout logistics: Season One is out, Season Two is “being prepared,” and the future is a pipeline. The subtext: stay with us, keep buying in, we’re building something that wants to last.
