TV is all new to me because I came from features.

Ryan Murphy just gives new people a shot, and it takes a lot of confidence and generosity to do that.

If you can make the day, you can do whatever you want.

If someone already knows you from being in the trenches with you on this TV schedules, and then you have a little bit more time, it's a treat for them, as well, because they can give you more.

I was only driven to be the best and it was very disheartening sometimes that it took me so long to start getting my voice heard. That certainly started with television, but it was never because of where I came from, it was because people saw something in me.

I don't set out to do something weird, but if you see something a certain way and it's a little left of center, and you can realize it, that's a real thrill.

As a fine artist I was drawn to composition and technique. I would count the cuts.
